摘要

A sealing element (100) for a fuel injector provided in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, said sealing element (100) comprising: a carrier element of a first material (110), where said carrier element is ring shaped with an upper essentially planar surface (112) and a lower essentially planar surface (114). A first gasket material (120a, 120b) is provided on a first portion of at least one of said upper or lower surfaces. A second gasket material (130a, 130b) is provided on a second portion of the at least one of said upper or lower surfaces where said first gasket material is provided, wherein said first gasket material (120a, 120b) is provided on an outer region of said planar surface of said ring shaped carrier element and said second gasket material (130a, 130b) is provided on an inner region of said planar surface of said ring shaped carrier element and where said second gasket material (130a, 130b) is softer than the first gasket material (120a, 120b).
