Be careful with epoxy that it cures hard enough that swarf, chips can't be embedded in it by things like equipment truck wheels.
You may be better off with a stone or concrete sealer that does not leave a layer on the surface.
Epoxy floors look prettier than bare cement, but if you look at high traffic applications, or even your neighborhood Home Depot, you'll see cement with a good finish is acceptable and durable, and cost-effective.
Epoxy IMO is better suited for light assembly or inspection areas than those areas exposed to chips, hard wheels, and weld splatter.
If you opt for epoxy great, just test it first is all I'm saying. And single part epoxy paint is practically useless for commercial applications.

I'm sure you are aware that there are hundreds of companies that will coat
the floor, not unlike this one;
http://www.chemcoat.com.au/profile.htm
I think contacting a few of them would be a preferrable source of
information.
