What would you put on a hangar floor as a sealer coating.

Are you looking for a do-it-yourself system or a professionally installed system?

This is what I used. Looks real purdy.

How chemical resistant is it? Have you ever spilled acetone on it?

do tires leave black marks on it?

How difficult can it be to mix a two part mixture and spread the goo.?

Hard coat is pretty easy.

I guess that means you want to do it yourself, so there's no reason to mention the premium systems that aren't available at the DIY retail level.

I don't think you'll find any epoxy coating that has any real acetone resistance.

If it were me, I'd pay a lot of attention to the prep work, but first of all do moisture transmission tests on the concrete. If the concrete passes a lot of water vapor, any epoxy coating will fail.

edit - A couple of other thoughts:

If you're going to acid-etch the floor, which pretty much any epoxy system will call for, make sure you use all of the appropriate personal protective equipment - respirator suitable for acid fumes, goggles, rubber gloves, rubber boots, etc. And try to be environmentally responsible in neutralizing and disposing of the residue.

Also, watch the recoat time window of the material you choose. If you're doing a large area yourself, you might need to break the area down and do multiple coats over smaller sections.

Hardeck does

This floor is brand new built IAW the new building codes and will stay dry in any conditions.

I will not be etching

I'd like to color it white, so I can see the little stuff I drop, The Navy did it where I worked, and you can't believe the difference.

You mean something in the Navy wasn't painted 111 Gray?
