Mixtures of cyclic branched siloxanes having exclusively D and T units, with the proviso that the cumulative proportion of the D and T units having Si-alkoxy and/or SiOH groups that are present in the siloxane matrix, determinable by 29Si NMR spectroscopy, is greater than 2 and less than 10 mole percent, are described, as are branched organomodified siloxanes obtainable therefrom.
