Abstract

In order to provide a sealing element which ensures a reliable seal and which can be produced easily and economically, it is proposed that a main body of the sealing element is preferably formed from a partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated thermoplastic material and has obtained at least part of its final outer shape or only part of its final outer shape in particular in a high-pressure process and/or in a high-temperature process.
