Improved magnetic media comprising a non-magnetic substrate and a magnetic layer formed on at least one side of the substrate. The magnetic recording media are provided in a variety of ways with a specific type of organosilane compound serving as a lubricant and represented by the following general formula: <IMAGE> where R is a saturated or unsaturated monovalent hydrocarbon residue having from 7 to 21 carbon atoms, n is 0, 1 or 2, and p is an integer from 1 to 12. The organosilane lubricant compound may be incorporated in the magnetic layer itself, in a back coating layer, or it may constitute a layer on the magnetic layer or on the back coating layer. |
