Characteristics and applications of metal tape

To manufacture low noise and high output tape, we have to choose excellent particles and also make its surface as smooth as possible. We developed a metal tape with higher output and higher S/N compared with those of conventional oxide tape by introducing new technologies of higher packing density and mirror surface finishing. This metal tape realized higher recording density which could be used in 8 mm Video, electronic still camera ("MAVICA"), magnetic contact printing system and various digital recording systems. This paper describes characteristics and applications of the metal tape.
