A sealing profile (1, 1'), especially for enclosing flat elements such as insulating glass panes on a frame, which profile is formed in a strand-shaped manner, and comprises the following: a) a mounting area which can be fixed to a profile and is formed as a retaining base or a retaining recess, b) a sealing bead (3, 17) which can be placed on the surface element, c) at least one sealing lip, d) wherein at least the mounting area and at least a portion of the sealing bead form a first region with a first material composition which is directly adjoined by a second region with a second material composition, e) wherein the first region the first material composition extends up into the region of the at least one sealing lip, or wherein the region of the sealing lip and preferably a region of an outer edge (15, 18), which are subjected to weathering in full or in part in the mounted state, are formed as a third region which has a greater hardness than the second region of the sealing bead with the second material composition, characterized in that f) at least one functional band which extends with the sealing profile in its main direction of extension is embedded in the second region of the sealing bead (3, 17) with the second material composition, which functional band forms a fourth region which has a material composition which differs from the second region with the second material composition and has a diameter of at least 2 mm, g) wherein the functional band (11, 11') is embedded in the second region in such a way that it is surrounded circumferentially by material of the second region, or that the functional band (11,11') is embedded in the second region in such a way that it is surrounded over a portion of its outer circumference by material of the second region, and that in a further portion of its outer circumference it directly forms a portion of the outer contour of the sealing profile (1, 1'), and h) the functional band (11,11'), as the fourth region, is harder than the second region in which it is embedded. a) a mounting area which can be fixed to a profile and is formed as a retaining base or a retaining recess, b) a sealing bead (3, 17) which can be placed on the surface element, c) at least one sealing lip, d) wherein at least the mounting area and at least a portion of the sealing bead form a first region with a first material composition which is directly adjoined by a second region with a second material composition, e) wherein the first region the first material composition extends up into the region of the at least one sealing lip, or wherein the region of the sealing lip and preferably a region of an outer edge (15, 18), which are subjected to weathering in full or in part in the mounted state, are formed as a third region which has a greater hardness than the second region of the sealing bead with the second material composition, characterized in that f) at least one functional band which extends with the sealing profile in its main direction of extension is embedded in the second region of the sealing bead (3, 17) with the second material composition, which functional band forms a fourth region which has a material composition which differs from the second region with the second material composition and has a diameter of at least 2 mm, g) wherein the functional band (11, 11') is embedded in the second region in such a way that it is surrounded circumferentially by material of the second region, or that the functional band (11,11') is embedded in the second region in such a way that it is surrounded over a portion of its outer circumference by material of the second region, and that in a further portion of its outer circumference it directly forms a portion of the outer contour of the sealing profile (1, 1'), and h) the functional band (11,11'), as the fourth region, is harder than the second region in which it is embedded.
