A lubricant compound for a magnetic disk is provided which can realize further reduction of the magnetic spacing and moreover, has high reliability under a lower floating amount of the magnetic head involved with the recent rapid increase in the recording density and under extremely severe environmental resistance involved with diversification of the applications.
A lubricant compound is contained in a lubrication layer of a magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic layer, a protective layer, and a lubrication layer are sequentially provided on a substrate, and the lubricant compound contains a component A and a component B expressed by the following chemical formula:
[Chemical formula]1
Component A: X=OH
Component B: X=OCH2CH(OH)CH2OH
and a component C made of a specific compound having a phosphezene ring in the structure thereof.
