The invention relates to a sealing ring (1) made of plastic. The sealing ring is provided with a separating through-cut, the separating cut being configured as a step-shaped overlap in which the mutually overlapping ring ends lie against each other in a sliding surface. The sliding surface is configured such that it is offset by an angle with respect to the perpendicular to the plane taken through the neutral axis. Preferably, this sliding surface runs parallel to the diagonal of the sealing ring cross-section and is displaced laterally from this diagonal. In this way, there are formed two additional edges (8, 9), which ensure tightness even if the medium surrounding the sealing ring is not at its usual operating temperature. In this way, the tightness of the sealing ring is even further improved.
