Abstract
The invention relates to a composition and a process for producing a chemically stable magnetic fluid comprising finely divided magnetic particles covered with surfactants. A surface modifier is also employed which is added to cover thoroughly the free oxidizable exterior surface of the outer layer of the particles to assure better chemical stability of the colloid under different environmental conditions.
