Abstract

A process for the polymerization of epoxides using as catalyst a double metal cyanide-type compound is described wherein said process is carried out in the presence of at least PA0 (a) one or more salts composed of at least bivalent metal ions and metal-free anions, having a solubility in water of at least 1 g/100 ml at 25.degree. C., and/or PA0 (b) one or more non-metal containing acids of which a 0.1 N solution in water at 25.degree. C. has a pH not exceeding 3.
