Abstract: A solid transfer-resistant make-up or care composition containing, in a physiologically acceptable medium: at least one volatile hydrocarbon based oil, and as a hardening agent, at least one functionalized synthetic wax having at least one hydroxyl or carboxyl functional group and having a melting point of between 75° C. and 120° C. and Hansen Solubility Parameters, &dgr;d, &dgr;h such that: 15.50≦&dgr;d≦18.50 (J/cm3)½, 4.50≦&dgr;a≦7.50 (J/cm3)½, wherein &dgr;a=(&dgr;p2+&dgr;h2)½.

Abstract: A substrate such as a catheter or a guide wire is provided with a lubricous, hydrophilic abrasion-resistant coating by:a) coating said substrate with a first aqueous coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion or emulsion of a polymer having organic acid functional groups and a polyfunctional crosslinking agent having functional groups capable of reacting with organic acid groups, and drying the coating to obtain a substantially water-insoluble coating layer having excess polyfunctional including functional groups being reactive with organic acid groups remaining, andb) contacting the dried coating layer obtained in a) with a second aqueous coating composition comprising an aqueous solution or dispersion of a hydrophilic polymer having organic acid functional groups, and drying the combined coating, the hydrophilic polymer thereby becoming bonded to the polymer of the first coating composition through the excess crosslinking agent.The drying can be carried out at ambient (room) temperature.
