Novel bis-(silylethyl)-oligosulphides are obtained by reacting a vinyl silane of the formula (CH2=CH)m- SiRn1R4 -(m+n) in which R represents chlorine, bromine, iodine, C1-C3-alkoxy, 2-methoxyethoxy, 2-ethoxyethoxy or hydroxy, R1 represents C1-C3-alkyl, phenyl or C5-C7-cycloalkyl, n is 0, 1 or 2, m is 1 or 2 and m+n is 1, 2 or 3 with sulphur as well as in a given case hydrogen sulphide in molar ratios of vinyl silane to sulphur of from 1:2.5 to 1:10 and vinyl silane to hydrogen sulphide of from 1:0 to 1:5 at temperatures between about 100 DEG and 200 DEG C. under pressure of from 1 to 25 bars (total pressure at the reaction temperature) and in the presence of sulphidation catalysts known per se, in a given case followed by hydrolysis or partial hydrolysis of the reaction products. The bis-(silylethyl)-oligosulphides are used as reinforcing additives (adhesive agents) in crosslinkable rubber mixtures containing silicate fillers and in a given case carbon black as well as in a given case sulphur and other customary constituents.
