    Abstract: This invention relates to a semi-batch process for the production of polyoxyalkylene polyether polyols. These polyoxyalkylene polyether polyols have hydroxyl (OH) numbers of from 112 to 400. This process comprises establishing oxyalkylation condition in a reactor in the presence of a DMC catalyst, continuously introducing alkylene oxide and a suitable starter into the reactor, and recovering an oxyalkyated polyether polyol. The oxyalkylation initially occurs at a temperature that is sufficiently high enough to avoid or prevent deactivation of the DMC catalyst, or for from 2% to 50% of the total oxide feed amount, and the oxyalkylation is then continued at a lower temperature.
