  • Publication number: 20230330982
    Abstract: A method can be used for producing a plurality of sealing profiles for an edge joint of drywall. The method involves providing a first web of sealing material, and applying a plurality of adhesive strips to the first web, where adjacent adhesive strips are at a distance from one another corresponding to at least 50% of the height of a sealing profile. The method then involves providing a second web, and merging and joining the first web to the second web via the adhesive strips to form a multilayer web. The method further involves introducing a plurality of cuts in a particular way at a distance from all adhesive strips to form a number of sealing profiles. A corresponding sealing profile is produced in this way.
