The disclosure relates to a sealing diaphragm and a check valve comprising a sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications. A sealing diaphragm for fluid technology applications is to be provided, which is economical and constructionally simple to produce, which can be used as a closing means for a check valve and with which unwanted interfering noise can be prevented during operation. The object of the disclosure is achieved by a sealing diaphragm with a flat, flexible sealing section, which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure, wherein at least one resilient frictional tooth is provided on or next to the surface of the sealing section at a distance from an edge of the sealing section, designed and arranged in such a way that it forms an angle between 30&#xb0; and 150&#xb0; with the sealing section and it tilts together with the bending or curving movement of the flat sealing section, wherein the frictional tooth has a contact surface on a side orientated in the tilting direction. The object of the disclosure is also achieved by a check valve for fluid technology outlet openings, comprising a housing part having a fluid outlet, wherein an above-mentioned sealing diaphragm is arranged in the flow path of the outlet opening, which is in contact with a sealing surface of a seal seat with a sealing section against the direction of flow and which can be bent or curved with a fluid pressure in the flow direction, wherein the contact surface of the at least one frictional tooth is simultaneously in contact with a corresponding bearing surface.
