The present invention relates to a polyester consisting of (A) repeat units derived from an acid component, which consists of (a1) 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, (a2) an aliphatic C4-C36 dicarboxylic acid or a mixture of a plurality of aliphatic C4-C36 dicarboxylic acids, and (a3) a sulfonate group-containing dicarboxylic acid, and of (B) repeat units derived from a di-ol/amine component, and optionally of further repeat units (C) and/or branching components (E), and of (D) repeat units derived from at least one di- or oligofunctional compound selected from the group consisting of a di- or oligoisocyanate and a di- or oligoisocyanurate. In addition, the present invention relates to the production of these polyesters and their use.
