Epoxy for wet area

[jabingham81]

Concrete is getting poured in a week. 24x32x12 is the size. One end of the building is going to have a drain and wash area. I am worried about the epoxy being slippery when wet. What are your thoughts? Might just do the work area in front of the wash area that will be 24x24.

There are anti-skid additives that can be added to coatings or just use fine sand.

The trick is to broadcast and backroll aluminum oxide into your poly coat(s).

Another option is to do a quartz floor, but you probably don't want that I am imagining.

Silica sand (play sand) is another option. Broadcast and backroll

Good call guys that sounds like a plan that would work. Has anyone used the Behr 1 part epoxy?

Do not buy Behr, or 1-part "epoxy"

1 part epoxy is just latex paint with some epoxy solids added.

Epoxy solids, resin, would need to be actually catalyzed. It's just a marketing scheme, not actual epoxy. They should get slapped for that

look for a product called shark grip

A single part process , IMHO, is not an epoxy.
