A defoamer or anti-foam formulation and a process for preparing the same. The process includes in a first step, preparing branched organopolysiloxanes (A) by irradiating organopolysiloxanes (X) of the formula (1)

R.sup.1.sub.3-a(R.sup.2O).sub.aSi—[OSiR.sup.3.sub.2].sub.n—OSi(OR.sup.2).sub.aR.sup.1.sub.3-a   (1).

Where with high-energy radiation, the viscosity of the organopolysiloxanes (A) is at least 40% higher than the viscosity of the organopolysiloxanes (X). In a second step, the branched organopolysiloxanes (A) are treated with a filler (B) which is selected from precipitated and/or fumed silicas, and organopolysiloxane resins (C).
