The invention relates to a lubricant coating for a medical container comprising a cross-linked lubricant composition comprising a mixture of non-reactive silicone with reactive silicone, characterized in that the reactive silicone comprises a mixture of vinyl-based silicone and acrylate-based silicone. The invention further relates to a lubricant composition usable as an intermediate product in the fabrication of a lubricant coating. The invention further relates to a medical container comprising a barrel and a stopper in gliding engagement within the barrel, comprising such a lubricant coating. The invention also relates to a process of manufacturing a medical container comprising a barrel and a stopper in gliding engagement within the barrel including depositing a lubricant composition on the inner surface of the barrel and/or on the stopper, and irradiating the coated barrel and/or stopper so as to cross-link the lubricant composition to form a lubricant coating.
