    Abstract: The foam produced during the continuous production of hydroxyl (OH) group terminated polytetrahydrofuran is removed and by transesterification of the corresponding ester group containing polymer. A process for preparing OH group containing polymers, especially for preparing polytetrahydrofuran with terminal OH groups, by transesterification of the corresponding ester group-containing polymers with alcohols. Tranesterification is carried out continuously in at least one stirred reactor (I,II,III,IV), where at least one reactor (I,II,III,IV) being connected via a line (3,3') to a generally cylindrical container (5,13'), with a diameter of about 2-4 times the diameter of the line (3,3'), to take up the foam formed in the stirred reactor(s) (I,II,III,IV) and to pass the foam tangentially into the cylindrical container (5,13) at a speed sufficient to separate the foam into a gaseous phase and a liquid phase. The gas phase is led off via a line (9) and the liquid phase is led off via a line (7,15).
