FIELD: chemistry of polymers. SUBSTANCE: described is polymeric mixture comprising at least one multiphase latex based on at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising solid phase polymer and soft phase polymer. Multiphase latex comprises from 5 to 50 wt % of at least one solid phase polymer having vitrification temperature from 20 to 160 C and from 50 C 95 wt % of at least one soft-phase polymer having vitrification temperature of lower than 50 C, vitrification temperature of soft-phase polymer is lower than vitrification temperature of solid-phase polymers and polymeric mixture further comprises at least second latex which forms no film at ambient temperature, ratio of components being as follows wt %; multiphase latex, 40.0-95.0; second latex, 5.0-60.0. Also described are aqueous composition for coating and method of coating the substrate. EFFECT: greater hardness of the composition without coagulants. 20 cl, 9 ex, 13 tbl
