In a process for crosslinking a polymer a .beta.-dicarbonyl functionality is , present as a reactive diluent and/or as a reactive solvent and/or on a crosslinking entity. The .beta.-difunctional compound reacts with formaldehyde which is either released during the crosslinking reaction (or otherwise present) whereby less formaldehyde is released than would otherwise be released.

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 29, 1992 and granted May 9, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 29, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 29, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
