Abstract
The present invention provides a method for producing low viscosity polyether carbonate polyols having side chains. A double metal cyanide catalyst and a suspension medium, with or without an H-functional starter compound, are initially introduced as a reaction mixture, and alkylene oxides are metered into the reaction mixture in two steps. The difference between the molecular weights of the lightest and the heaviest of the alkylene oxides metered in the two steps is greater than or equal to 24 g/mol, and the lightest alkylene oxide is a C2-C4 alkylene oxide. The alkylene oxides metered in the two steps can be the same or different. The invention also relates to the low viscosity polyether carbonate polyols produced by the method and to the use thereof.
