Properties

Pigments with a coercive field strength of 50-57 kA m-1 are used in videocassettes, high-biasaudiocassettes (chromium dioxide operating pointlEC II),andhigh-density floppy disks. Depending on the quality of the tape, the particle size varies between 0.2 and 0.4 pm (see Section 5.1.1, Table 5.1, and Figure 5.1).

Pigments with a higher coercive field strength (ca. 70 kA m-1) and smaller particle size (particle length ca. 0.15-0.2 pm) are used for super VHS cassettes.

Pigments treated with only small amounts of cobalt (0.5-1 wt.% Co, coercive field strength ca. 31 kA m-1) are used as an alternative to cobalt-free y-Fe2O3 pigments

for high-quality low-bias audiocassettes. The other parameters described in Section

5.1.1 are also of importance for cobalt-treated pigments.

Cobalt-containing pigments are mainly produced by the magnetic iron oxide pro­ducers Toda Kogyo, Titan Kogyo (Japan), 3M, Magnox (USA), Saehan Media (South Korea). World production in 2002 was about 25,000 t, of which the highest amount (ca. 85%) was used for videotapes.
