Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for increasing the catalytic activity of multi-metal cyanide compounds for use as catalysts in the addition of alkyl oxides to H-function starting substances. Said method is characterised in that the multi-metal cyanide compounds are subjected to a deagglomeration before their mixing with the H-function starting substances.

The invention relates to a method for working up polyether alcohols which may be produced by the catalytic addition of alkylene oxides to H-functional starting materials. Said method is characterised in that at least one multi-metal cyanide compound is employed as catalyst and that the catalyst is separated by sedimentation from the polyether alcohol, after the addition of the alkylene oxide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to polyester-polyether block copolymers which can be produced by the catalytically induced attachment of alkylene oxides to H functional starting materials. Said copolymers are characterised in that polyester alcohols are used as the H functional starting materials and multi-metal cyanide compounds are used as the catalysts.
