The new science lab building at the University of Portland is looking for a
floor finish for concrete floors, that would be impervious to all the
chemicals that students will drop on it, yet will be low-toxicity.
Materials like linoleum or vinyl would not be durable enough. They are
currently leaning towards an epoxy finish that would be poured over the
concrete. Has anyone had experience with this situation? Any
recommendations?

Thanks, Mike
