Abstract

See full text

The subject invention relates to method for processing crude polyoxymethylene in which the isolation of unstable components from crude polyoxymethylene, such as residual monomers which are at least partly in the form of cyclic formaldehyde derivatives, is effected by treatment of the crude polyoxymethylene with an inert gaseous medium. The method of the invention is characterized in that the gaseous medium contains at least 10 volume % of water vapor, and less than 0.1 volume % of a volatile base, and/or less than 1 volume % of a volatile solvent. In an alternative variant method, the gaseous medium contains at least 10 volume % of water vapor and the treatment occurs at a temperature between 114.degree. C and the softening temperature of the crude polyoxymethylene and at a pressure of less 1.2 .multidot.10.sup.5 Pa.
