Abstract

The invention relates to an aqueous polyester concentrate having a proportion by weight of polyesters of 12 to 60%, wherein the polyesters are obtainable by means of polymerization of the components selected from a) one or more sulfo group-free aromatic dicarboxylic acids and/or salts thereof and/or anhydrides thereof and/or esters thereof, b) optionally one or more sulfo group-containing dicarboxylic acids, salts thereof and/or anhydrides thereof and/or esters thereof, c) 1,2-propylene glycol, d) ethylene glycol, e) one or more compounds of the formula (1) R¹O(CHR²CHR³O)_nH (1), where R¹ is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having from 1 to 22 C atoms, R² and R³, independently of one another, are hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of from 1 to 50, f) optionally one or more compounds of the formula (2) H—(OCH₂CH₂)_m—SO₃X (2), where m is an integer of from 1 to 10 and X is hydrogen or an alkali metal ion, and g) optionally one or more cross-linking polyfunctional compounds, provided that at least one of the components b) or f) is present, and provided further that the molar ratio of the components c) 1,2-propylene glycol to d) ethylene glycol is greater than or equal to 1.60.
