Abstract
A method for manufacturing a sealing element with a rectangular shape. The sealing element has a first and a second direction of extension as well as two or more openings. The method is technically simpler and more cost-effective than known manufacturing methods since the sealing element is formed by an injection molding process or a compression molding process in an unwound mold, after which a cylindrical end contour is formed. A sealing element produced through the method and its use are also described.

A sealing element with a rectangular shape in an unwound state, the sealing element comprising:
- a first direction of extension,
- a second direction of extension,
- a first opening,
- a second opening, and
- a cylindrical end contour,
- wherein:
- the sealing element is formed by an injection moulding process or a compression moulding process, and
- the sealing element is manufactured from at least a first material and a second material, wherein the second material at least partially covers the first material in a third direction of extension, the third direction of extension arranged orthogonally to the first direction of extension and the second direction of extension.
