Siloxane mixtures

A mixture of methylpolysiloxanes containing at least two methylpolysiloxanes selected from linear compounds of the general formula I

• Me3SiO(Me2SiO)x—SiMe3 (I)
• and cyclic compounds of the general formula II
• (Me2SiO)y (II)
• where
• the mixture contains at least one linear methylpolysiloxane of the general formula I and at least one cyclic methylpolysiloxane of the general formula II,
• Me is a methyl radical,
• x has values greater than or equal to zero and an arithmetic mean of x over all the linear methylpolysiloxanes, weighted by molar proportions, is between 3 and 20,
• y has values greater than or equal to 3 and an arithmetic mean of y over all the cyclic methylpolysiloxanes, weighted by molar proportions, is between 3 and 6, a numerical ratio of Me3Si— chain end groups in the compounds of the general formula I to a sum total of Me2SiO— units in the compounds of the general formulae I and II is at least 1:2 and at most 1:10,
• proportions of the linear methylpolysiloxanes of the general formula I are each independently,
• for x=zero, between zero and 14% by mass,
