Abstract

A biaxially oriented polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate film suitable for producing magnetic recording media wherein the film has a Young's modulus of at least 550 kg/mm.sup.2 in the longitudinal direction and a Young's modulus of at least 800 kg/mm.sup.2 in the transverse direction with the Young's modulus in the transverse direction being greater than the Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction by more than 200 kg/mm.sup.2 ; a surface roughness Ra of 1-12 nm; and low heat shrinkage. The film also contains 0.005-2% by weight inorganic or organic fine particles.
