Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyether polyols by means of double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts, in which the induction phase is shortened markedly. By continuous dispensing of an alkylene oxide into the starter-catalyst mixture it is possible to achieve a substantial shortening of the induction phase by comparison with the batch-wise activation.
