The present invention provides a process for cross-linking organopolysiloxanes by means of a bis-benzoyl peroxide derivative with heating, wherein, as bis-benzoyl peroxide derivative, there is used at least one compound of the general formula: <IMAGE> (I) in which the symbols R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5, each independently of one another, have the following meanings: R1 and R5 are the same or different and signify alkoxycarbonyl radicals with 2 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety or fluorine or hydrogen atoms, R2 and R4 are the same or different and signify alkyl radicals with 2 to 8 carbon atoms or hydrogen atoms and R3 signifies an alkyl radical with 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom, at least 2 symbols and at most 4 symbols per benzene ring signifying hydrogen atoms. The present invention also provides an agent for carrying out this process which consists essentially of silicone oil in which is contained, in finely divided form, 10 to 80% by weight of at least one compound of general formula (I).
