ABOUT CONCRETE FLOOR PAINT
Concrete Floor Paint may be made from latex or alkyd. There are also one part and two part epoxy concrete floor paints. All concrete floor paints are designed to be resistant to chemicals, oil, and gasoline. In the case of two part epoxy concrete floor paints, two liquids are mixed together. This sets off a polymerizing chemical reaction, producing within 24 hours a durable surface which is firmly bonded to the concrete base. Color flakes may be added for decorative effect. Concrete Floor Paints are suitable for garages, basements, and porches; they are not normally intended for fully outdoor use.
