The TENSA®COMPRESS A profile, which is glued into position in a state of pre-compression, allows longitudinal, transverse and vertical movements of the structure. The design of the internal ribbing ensures lasting dimensional stability in all positions. The TENSA®COMPRESS A movement profile offers high resistance to de-icing salt, UV radiation, ozone and mechanical damage. Applications TENSA®COMPRESS A movement profile is designed to accommodate movements, and seal trafficable joints and gaps, in bridges, ramps, parking decks, industrial flooring and so on.
