Abstract

In a process for preparing polyoxymethylenes by polymerizing formaldehyde in the presence of an anionic polymerization catalyst, the use of a polyhydric alcohol having at least three alcoholic hydroxyl groups in the molecule permits the preparation of polyoxymethylenes which have desired molecular weights along with improved melt fluidity and which are excellent in processability.
