Acrylato-functional polysiloxanes The present invention reiates to compositions which comprise acrylato-functional polysiloxanes and which can be prepared by a specific process. 1t further reiates to the use of such compositions. Polysiloxanes containing acrylato groups are known from, for example, DE-A 102 19 734, EP-A 564 253, US-A4 528Q81, and EP-A 373 659. From the literature cited above it is also apparent that it is known to eure Silicon Compounds containing acrylate units by means of free-radical polymerization. This free-radical polymeriza- tion can take place for example by means of UV Irradiation. The acrylato-functional polyorganosiloxanes known from the above-cited prior art contain either only produets with units are referred to below as "y units". Or eise the known polysiloxanes contain only produets having units and the corresponding methacryiate units are referred to below as "a units". Acrylato-functional polysiloxanes containing only a units but no y units attached to Silicon pos-sess the disadvantage that they normally have high viscosities, form hard fiims after polymeriza-tion, and are therefore unsuitable for numerous applications. , Acrylato-functional polysiloxanes which contain only y units but no a units attached to the Silicon possess the disadvantage that, after curing/polymerization, films are obtained which are more or less tacky and hence unsuitable for a ränge of end uses. Attempts to mix acrylato-functional polysiloxanes containing exclusively a units with acrylato-functional polysiloxanes containing exciusively y units have the disadvantage that they are in-convenient and expensive, necessitating the preparation of the two different polysiloxanes in two separate processes. The object on which the present invention is based is to provide compositions which comprise acrylato-functional polyorganosiloxanes and which do not have the above-outlined disadvan-tages of known acrylato-functional polyorganosiloxanes. This object has been achieved by means of a composition which can be prepared by reacting a hydroxyl-containing polyorganosiloxane whose chain ends are formed by groups of the formula (I) all radicals R3 present are independently of one another an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, all radicals R8 present are independently of one another R or a hydroxyl group, p is number from 3 to 25, all radicals R9 present are independently of one another R or an OH group, at least two of the radicals R8 present being OH, and all radicals R2 present being independently of one another H or CH3, and if desired, after the reaction, further reacting OH groups still present with a monohydric linear or branched alcohol having 1 to 16 carbon atoms. The stated hydroxyl-containing poiyorganosiloxanes, referred to below as "a,co-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes", are reacted, then, with a mixture of silanes of which one (for-mula IV) contains a units and the other (formula III) contains y units. This reaction is carried out, as elucidated in greater detail below, such that either there is an equilibration, in which struc-tural units of the two silanes are incorporated into the chain of the a,o> dihydroxypolyorganosiloxane, or eise - and this is preferred - the reaction is carried out such that condensation reactions take place between terminal OH groups of the polysiloxane and the two silanes. One of the reasons why the second version, the condensation, is preferred is be-cause it can be carried under more gentle conditions, i.e. at a lower temperature, than the equilibration reaction. The stated reactions produce poiyorganosiloxanes which contain both a units and y units in the same molecule. They are superior to polysiloxanes containing only a or only y units and they are less expensive to prepare than mixtures of these two prior-art polysiloxanes. The reaction of the dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes with the mixture of silanes of the formula (III) and of the formula (IV) produces mixtures of products. The nature and the relative proportion of the individual components of the mixture produced, i.e., of the composition of the invention, de-pend on the nature and amount of the starting Compounds and on the reaction conditions. There are in principle 2 considerable kinds of reaction mechanism: a reaction regime which ieads to equilibration reactions or a reaction regime which leads to condensation reactions. It is preferred to conduct the reaction in such a way that only condensation, and no equilibration, takes place. The condensation proceeds at lower temperatures and is therefore more favorable on a cost basis. In the condensation, OR3groups of the silanes of theformula (III) and of the formula (IV) react with terminal OH groups of the a,co-dihydroxypolysiloxane with elimination of alcohol R3OH and chain extension. Polyorganosiloxanes are formed which contain both a units and y units in the sarne moiecule. The reaction can be conducted as a condensation at a temperature in the ränge from 80 to 105°C for 3 to 4 hours, preferably under reduced pressure; for example, at a pressure in the region of 100 mbar. Details concerning condensation reactions are known from silicone chemis-try. For condensation to be able to take place at all it is necessary for the polysiloxane used to have hydroxyl groups on at least two chain ends. Equilibration reactions are likewise well known from the literature on silicone chemistry. In the case of equilibration, silane units are inserted into the polysiloxane chain. The equilibration therefore requires the cleaving of Si-O-Si bonds in the chain. This explains the higher temperatures needed for equilibration than for condensation. The reaction in which compositions of the invention are produced is conducted, when equilibration is desired, at a temperature in the ränge from 110 to 135°C for a time of 3 to 4 hours. The equilibration reaction is carried out preferably in the presence of water, in order to hydrolyze OR3 groups to OH groups. The equilibration as well produces polysiloxanes containing both a and y units in the same moiecule. The reaction which leads to compositions of the invention is preferably carried out with the use of a catalyst or catalyst mixture, either when carried out in the form of a condensation or when carried out in the form of an equilibration. Suitabie catalysts are known from the silicone literature. In certain cases it is possible to employ acidic catalysts, examples being Lewis acids ordilute mineral acids; normally, however, basic catalysts are more suitabie and therefore preferred. Highly suitabie basic catalysts are alkali metal hydroxides such as NaOH, KOH or LiOH and, in particular, metal alkoxides. Among the metal alkoxides particularly good suitability is possessed by alkali metal alkoxides of the formula M(OR3). These metal alkoxides can be used for example as a 20% to 30% strength Solution in the parent alcohol R3-OH. In the preceding formula M is Na or K and R3 is an alkyl radical hav-ing 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Further suitabie catalysts are 4-dimethylaminopyridine and bicyclic Compounds containing one or more nitrogen atoms as ring members. Examples are 1,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.2.]octane, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene, and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Particularly good results are obtained if the reaction leading to compositions of the invention is carried out such that per mole of OH groups of the a,co-dihydroxypoiyorganosiloxane 0.01 to 0.6 moi of silanes of the formuia (III) and of the formula (IV) is used. The stated ränge from 0.01 to 0.6 refers in this case to the sum of all silanes of the formula (III) and of the formula (IV) that are used. Where further silanes are used additionally, i.e., silanes not covered by formula (III) or formula (IV), the above-mentioned ränge from 0.1 to 0.6 never-theless relates only to the ratio of cc,co-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxane to the sum of the silanes of the formula (III) and (IV); in other vvords, silanes used additionally are not counted into said ratio. For the Performance properties of the compositions of the invention it is of advantage in many cases if the silanes of the formula (III) are used in higher molar amounts than the silanes of the formula (IV). In one preferred embodiment of compositions of the invention, in the reaction, a mixture of silanes of the formula (III) and of the formula (IV) is used that contains 2 to 20, pref-erably 5 to 14, mols of silane of the formula (III) per mole of silane of the formula (IV). The a,G)-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes used must have groups of the formula (!) (I) at least at two chain ends. R in this formula is as defined above. The hydroxyl groups are nec-essary, as described above, to enable condensation reactrons to proceed between these polysi-loxanes and the mixture of silanes. The radicals R in the formula (I) are independentiy of one another an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or the unsubstituted phenyl radical. Highly suitable radicals R are methyl groups. The a,co-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes used have units of the formula (II) within the polysiloxane chain. All radicals R9 are independentiy of one another R or OH. All radicals R1 are independentiy of one another R or a radical of the formula (V) All radicals R8 present are independentiy of one another R or OH; p has a number from 3 to 25. The a,o>dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes used for the reaction with silanes can be cc.co-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxanes in which apart from two or more terminal hydroxyl groups only methyl groups are attached to the Silicon atoms. They may alternativeiy be polysiloxanes which contain further functional groups, in particular further groups present in side chains of the polysiloxanes. Thus, for example, polysiloxanes additionally containing amino groups are highly suit-able for use. Preference is given here to a,o>dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes which apart from units of the formulae (I) and (II) within the siloxane chain additionally contain one or more units KJ\ LI IC lUtllluId \VIJ -Si(R9)(Z)-0- (VI) in which all radicals Z present are independently of one another a radical of the formula (VII) or oftheformula(Vlll) in which T is a linear or branched alkylene radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, bisO, 1 or2, c is a number from 1 to 20, all radicals R4 independently of one another are H or R, and in each unit of the formula (VIII) one of the radicals R5 and R6 is H and the other is H or CH3. Additionally suitable are polysiloxanes in which there are modified $ide chains, i.e., chemicaily altered side chains, of the formula (VII). In this case the chemical modification involves one of the following reactions having been carried out on one or more of the nitrogen atoms: a) quaternization with alkylating agents, so that the nitrogen atom in question is attached to 4 carbon atoms and is therefore in a positively charged form. b) Reaction with y-butyrolactone with ring opening, producing an amide of co-hydroxybutyric acid c) Acylation by means of carboxylic anhydride, in particular by means of acetic anhydride. d) Addition reaction of acrylamide. a,co-Dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes suitable for preparing compositions of the invention, includ-ing those siloxanes with side chains that contain amino groups, are commercially customary poiymers that are available on the market. They can be procured from companies including Wacker Chemie, DE, and Dow Corning. in the case of the silanes of theformula (III) and of theformula (IV) preference is given to those in which a is 2. However, it is also possibie for a to adopt a value of 1 or 3. All radicals R independently of one another are an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon at-oms, or the unsubstituted phenyl radical All radicals R3 independently of one another are an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in particular the methyl or ethyl radical. All radicals R2 present are independently of one another hydrogen or the methyl radical - in other words, it is possibie to use not only silanes with acrylate units but also those with methacrylate units, or mixtures of acrylatosilanes and methacrylatosilanes. Silanes of theformula (III) and of theformula (IV) are available on the market, from forexample Wacker Chemie GmbH, DE (GENIOSIL XL 32) or ABCR GmbH & Co., Karlsruhe, DE. Silanes of the formula (IV) can be prepared in accordance with the teaching of the abovemen-tioned DE-A 102 19 734. One preparation possibility involves reacting acrylic or methacrylic acid with and a basic catalysis. Silanes of the formula (III) can be obtained by addition reaction of (R30)a(R)3.aSi H with allyl alcohoi or methallyl alcohol and subsequent esterification ortransesterification with (meth)acrylic acid or esters thereof. Besides the silanes of the formula (III) and of theformula (IV), which are always involved in the reaction with a,co-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxane, it is additionally possible to use further silanes. An example thereof are silanes of the formula (X) in which R3, R, and a are as defined above. T here is a linear or branched divalent alkyiene ra-dicai having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Siianes of this kind can be prepared by catalytic addition reaction of dialkyl phosphite with vinylsilanes of the formula This is described in DE-A22 19 983. Especially suitable for addition use alongside silanes of the formula (III) and of the formula (IV) are silanes containing one or more amino groups. One preferred embodiment of compositions of the invention is therefore characterized in that in addition to the siianes of the formula (III) and of the formula (IV) for the reaction of a,co-dihydroxypolyorganosiloxane one or more silanes are used which are selected from silanes of the formula (IX), of the formula (X) and of the formula (XI) in which the radicals R7 present are independentiy of one another -CH3 or -CH2-CH3 and d is 0 or 1, R, R2, R3, R4, T, a and b being as defined in claim 1 or 2. The nitrogen-containing silanes of the formulae (IX) and (XI) may also be present here in a modified form, in which one or more of the nitrogen atoms have been chemically reacted, as described above in connection with formula (VII) - that is, by reaction with butyrolactone, addi- tion reaction with acryiamide, acylation orquäternization. Such modification/reaction may also be carried out, however, after the silane mixture has been reacted with the a,o> dihydroxypolysiloxane. After the reaction of the dihydroxypolysiloxanes with the mixture of the silanes it is possible for hydroxyl groups which may still be present in the resultant composition to be blocked by reaction with a monohydric alcohol, i.e., etherified. The monohydric alcohols used for this purpose are aliphatic, branched or unbranched alcohols having 1 to 16 carbon atoms. Use may then be made of this blocking/removal of free OH groups when it is necessary to tailor the viscosity of compositions of the invention that still contain free hydroxyl groups. Compositions of the invention can if desired be reacted with further Compounds in order to ob-tain a certain preliminary crosslinking, the reaction taking place in proportions which ensure that the compositions of the invention still contain reactive acrylate groups. Examples of Compounds highly suitable for this purpose are the amino-, epoxy- or isocyanato-functional silanes familiär to the skilled worker, or Compounds having two or more acrylate groups. Compositions of the invention may if desired be dispersed in water. Dispersants suitable for this purpose are known to the skilled worker from the literature on silicones. They include nonionic Surfactants such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates or cationic Surfactants such as quaternary ammo-nium salts. Aqueous dispersions of compositions of the invention can be used to finish paper, among other applications. One preferred use of compositions of the invention is in the treatment of fiber materials with these compositions. This can be done as pari: of known textile finishing or textile treatment processes; for exampie, by applying aqueous dispersions of compositions of the invention to sheetlike textile structures made of fiber materials, by a padding method. The aqueous dispersions used for this purpose may further comprise additional products of the kind customary for textile treatment, examples being oil and water repellency products, waxes as soft hand agents} and flame retardants. The fiber materials are preferably sheetlike textile structures in the form of wovens, knits or nonwovens. They may be composed, among other materials, of natural poly-mers such as cellulose or of synthetic polymers such as poiyesters, polyacrylonitrile or polyam-ides. Compositions of the invention can be used with particular advantage Tor tne cunain coaung OT fiber materiais in the form of wovens. This curtain coating can be carried out by methods which are general knowiedge. A thin layer of a liquid composition of the invention, which is guided ver-tically, is applied to a sheetlike textile structure, which is moving horizontally. This is followed by drying and by condensation/curing at elevated temperature, in the course of which carbon-carbon double bonds are polymerized. Curtain coating requires the viscosities of the liquid coating agents to be situated within a defined ränge. In orderto obtain liquid compositions of the invention in a defined viscosity ränge it may be necessary to add products of low viscosity, ex-amples being organic solvents or low-viscosity liquid acrylate monomers or oligomers. For curtain coating, compositions of the invention are used normally not in the form of aqueous dispersions, but instead without additives or with the aforementioned additives for Controlling the viscosity. For curtain coating it is also possible for the abovementioned fiber materiais comprising natural or synthetic polymers to come into consideration. Of particular suitability for this purpose are wovens made of polyamide. With these wovens it is possible to produce coated fabrics for use as airbags for motor vehicles. Before curtain coating is carried out, the wovens may be subjected to a known plasma pre~ treatment. As mentioned above, afterthe composition of the invention has been applied the treated sheetlike textile structure is required to pass through a condensation stage. By means of this conden-sation stage, the carbon-carbon double bonds present in the composition are polymerized, at least to a substantial extent. The condensation/polymerization may be brought about by means of UV Irradiation. If UV irradiation is employed, one or more photoinitiators are added to the composition of the invention. The products which can be used as photoinitiators are known. They include products of the series IRGACURE®, e.g., IRGACURE® 184 and 819 (Ciba Spezialitätenchemie AG, Basie, CH). Further suitable products are described by US-B1 6 211 308 (column 10). Monochromatic iight sources are highiy suitable for the irradiation, particuiarly la-sers. The condensation/curing which is carried out foliowing the application of compositions of the invention to sheetlike textile structures may also take place by means of electron beams instead of by UV irradiation. In this case no photoinitiator is necessary. Condensation/curing may follow an application by curtain coating, in a continuous process. Suitable parameters for implementing curtain coating and for continuous subsequent curing are found in EP-A 1 498 533. The invention will now be illustrated by means of working examples. Example 1 (inventive) and 0.2 g of a 30% strength Solution of NaOCH3 in methanol were mixed. The Y-siiane;a-silane molar ratio was approximateiy 9:1. The mixture was heated to 90°C under an N2 atmosphere and with stirring, and was held at this temperature for 5 minutes. The pressure was then lowered slowly (foaming!) to 100 mbar and methanol was distilled off at 90°C. After about 1.5 hours only a small amount of methanol was still going over. A sample of the liquid formed up to that point possessed a viscosity of approximateiy 300 mPa.s at room temperature. A further 0.08 g of the NaOCH3 Solution was then added to the liquid formed, and distillative remova! of methanol was continued at 90°C under reduced pressure for a further 30 minutes. A sample of the Solution then had a viscosity of about 700 mPa.s at room temperature. A further 0.05 g of the catalyst Solution (NaOCH3 Solution) was added and distiliation was carried out again at 90°C under reduced pressure for 30 minutes. This gave a Solution having a viscosity of about 1200 mPa.s at 20°C (= "Solution 1"). This Solution was highiy suitable for the curtain coat-ing of woven fabrics. Example 2 (inventive) Example 1 was repeated with the following differences; The y-silane:a-silane molar ratio was approximateiy 1.5:1. 3.2 g of v-silane (the same silane as in Example 1) and 1.9 g of a-silane (the same silane as in Example 1) were used. The Solution obtained at the end of the synthesis (= "Solution 2") had a viscosity of about 6000 mPa.s at 20DC. It is not quite as suitable for curtain coating as Solution 1. Example 3 (inventive) in this example an a,o>dihydroxypolysiloxane was reacted not only with a mixture of a silane containing a units (formuia IV) and a siiane containing y units (formula (III)). Instead a mixture of 4 silanes was used: a silane containing a units, a silane containing y units, an amino-functional silane, and a silane containing a phosphono group. The polyorganosiloxane produced in the reaction can be used for the flame retardancy treatment of textiles, owing to the presence of nitrogen atoms and phosphorus atoms. 88 g of the mixture of two dihydroxypolyorganosiloxanes, as specified in Example 1, were mixed .. .:iu Will 1 4.8 g of the y-silane specified in Example 1, 0.48 g of the a-silane from Example 1, 2.2 g of (CH30)2Si(CH3)CH2CH2CH2—NH-CH2CH2~NH2 3.5 g Of (C2H50)2P(0)-CH2CH2—Si(OC2H5)3 and 0.2 g of a 30% strength Solution of NaOCH3 in methanol. The mixture was processed as reported in Example 1. This gave a liquid composition (= "Solution 3") having a viscosity of about 1000 mPa.s at 20°C. This composition was highly suitable for the curtain coating of woven fabrics. Example 4 (noninventive, comparative example) In this example the mixture of two a,co-dihydroxypolysiloxanes (see Example 1) was reacted only with a silane containing a units (formula IV). A silane containing y units (formula (III)) was not involved in the reaction. 95 g of the mixture of two dihydroxypolysiloxanes specified in Example 1, 4.7 g of the silane containing a units, specified in Example 1, and 0.2 g of the abovementioned NaOCH3 Solution were mixed and subjected to further processing as reported in Example 1. This gave a Solution (= "Solution 4") having a viscosity of about 12 000 mPa.s at 20°C. This Solution possesses a viscosity which is unacceptably high for curtain coating. Example 5 (noninventive, comparative example) ) In this example the mixture of two a,co-dihydroxypolysiloxanes was reacted only with a silane containing y units (formula III). A silane containing a units (formula IV) was not used. 84 g of the mixture of two a,oD-dihydroxypolysiloxanes specified in Example 1, 5,4 g of the y-silane specified in Exampie 1, and 0.2 g of the abovementioned NaOCH3 in methanol Solution were mixed and subjected to further processing as reported in Example 1. This gave a Solution (= "Solution 5") having a viscosity of about850mPa.sat20°C. Example 6 This example relates to a mixture of a first polysiloxane, in which a units are attached to Si at-oms, but not y units, and a second polysiloxane, in which y units are attached to Si atoms, but not a units. This mixture was prepared by mixing 90 parts by weight of Solution 5 (see Exampie 5) and 10 parts by weight of Solution 4 (see Exampie 4). This gave a Solution (= "Solution 6") having a viscosity of about 2400 mPa.s at 20°C. The Solution obtained therefore contains both a units and y units, but not in the same molecule. The effort and cost involved in its preparation is higher than that for the preparation of composi-tions of the invention, because two different polysiloxanes must be prepared separately from one another. In the preparation of compositions of the invention, in contrast, only one polysiloxane synthesis has to be carried out. Example 7 Each of Solutions 1 to 6 was admixed with 2% by weight of a photoinitiator (DAROCURE® 1173 from Ciba Spezialitätenchemie, Basle, CH), and initiator based on an aromatic hydroxy ketone. The compositions obtained (= "compositions 1 to 6") were used to coat woven fabric, with an add-on of 15 to 20 g/m2, and the coatings were cured by UV Irradiation (wavelength ränge 200-400 nm, power approximately 120 W/cm). It was found that only compositions 1, 2 and 3 from Examples 1, 2 and 3 gave appropriate films on the fabric. The film of Example 4 was very hard, a consequence of the high viscosity of Solution 4. The film of Example 5 was too soft, tacky, and greasy. The film of Example 6, although better than the films of compositions 4 and 5, was nevertheless brittle and therefore less suitable as a coating than the films resulting from Examples 1 to 3. The films obtained after poiymerization of composition 6 were definitely poorer than those obtained after poiymerization of composition 1, despite the fact that in both cases the molar ratio of y to a units was approximately 9:1. The difference in the properties of composition 1 as com-pared with composition 6, therefore, can be explained by the fact that in composition 1 the a units and the y units were present in the same molecule, while in composition 6 there was an intermolecular mixture of a silicone containing a units and a silicone containing y units.
