The present invention is substantially smoother when wet than dry, resistant to delamination by wet abrasion, and essentially insoluble in water. Provide a wet composite coating. The wet composite coating comprises an outer layer (excluding a silane compound) having an exposed outer surface comprising a hydrophilic polymer, and an inner layer comprising a water-insoluble stabilizing polymer. The ratio of the hydrophilic polymer to the stabilizing polymer controls the degree of wet lubricity, peel resistance and insolubility of the composite coating. |
