garage floor sealant

anyone got any good sources for effective garage floor sealant? ideally, 2 part epoxy stuff, grey or white or similar light colour. Other types certainly considered if recommended.

Have 3 double garage floors to do (75m2) so cost is an issue.....

[edited to add: it's covering relatively new concrete, smooth finish]

I assume you mean paint or coating.

They are all much of a likeness. The key (no pun intended) is the preparation of the new slab to accept the "coating". Also RH reading needs to be suitable (typically below 75%)

well, the terminology has been confused by marketeers. I do mean sealant, but it is sometimes called paint. However, garage floor paint is often latex based or one-part epoxy based - but I gather for longevity the 2 part epoxy ones (call them paint or sealer, I don't really mind) is much better. Concrete is relatively fresh and has now dried out, and it will be painted (sealed) whenever the weather is suitable.

Essentially, it is there to protect the floor from spillages, reduce dusting from bare concrete, and generally look nicer.

I've always found Teamac Floor Paint to be very long lasting. Can be sprayed or brushed or rolled. It's a conventional solvent based paint.

Agree. Recently looked into this for my contractor for an HGV workshop

I noted it as epoxy paint. Original Architects noted it as epoxy coating. A clear coat sealant is slightly different. However my preference is always a dryshake if slip resistance is acceptable . Fresh concrete is not good, drier is better.

Also be aware of potential delamination issue. I painted my garage with epoxy but since the top surface was at an housing developer standard (poor) the epoxy pulled the surface away when it started drying. As the concrete had been down for 7years before hand I didn't consider this. However in hindsight the excess dusting was a good indicator (and the reason for painting). Should have grinded the surface in lieu of acid etching.

I used this from Watco, concrete sealer.

https://www.watco.co.uk/watco-concrete-sealer-water-based.html

It's clear, and quite thin, but soaks into the top layer of the concrete. Stops oils staining the concrete.

Quite expensive, but works well. My floor was powerfloated.

Im now working in the second workshop with 2 part expoxy floor paint and it stills fails, mainly due to jacks damging the surface or lifitng at the edges, tbf it does take a good few years so should last a long time for diy.
