Concrete Sealer

[Rodbolt]

Getting ready to start building my shop and I would like some input on sealing the concrete floor. I'm not interested in epoxy as I've worked in too many shops where the floor looks terrible after a few years of use and your only option is to reapply. My local concrete place here recommends a product called Tuf Seal J35. It is billed as a clear, non yellowing sealer that is gas and oil resistant. It claims to have a high gloss finish so I'm a little concerned about scratching. Has anyone had any experience with this stuff or have anything else to recommend?

I like epoxy, but I also install this. It could be a do it yourself project, very impressive results.

there are two options to get what you want.
the first is to place an uv resistant epoxy primer solvent based for deep penetration need it as have to seal the surface from moisture as polyaspartic and aliphatic urethane dont like water to bond to or even 5% moisture in the concrete will cause problems so use an epoxy primer
www.elitecrete.com check out two products the sparta-all sealer it is uv resistant solvent resistant scratch resistant. good non slip characteristics even when damp.
but before you forget epoxy just for giggles look at the pics of reflector we own this system and it is the hottest thing going on in decorative and industrial floors

He is from Gene's area. He definitely had a screw loose.
Frankly, he probably works for a good outfit but you would never know it by his grammar and spelling.

It seems like the J-35 would hold up better to gas and oil as the HD6600 is water based. I've also read that the HD6600 needs to be reapplied every year or two. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Stands up well to most garage chemicals.
Reapplication is not a given. This is completely tied to your maintenance and traffic.

It is one of the best acrylic sealers available .
