Method for polymerizing tetraoxane by carrying out the polymerization at temperatures above 60 DEG C. and in the presence of at least one hydrocarbon halide of the general formula RXn, wherein R is a radical having one to 15 carbon atoms, and may be a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon residue, with different substituents for hydrogen in the hydrocarbon residue, X may be F, Cl, Br, or I, and n a positive integer not exceeding 10. The polymerization reaction can be promoted by ionizing irradiation either before or after hydrogen halides are added to the tetraoxane. The molecular weight and the yield of the polymer obtained by the invention are increased as compared to those obtained by conventional methods.
