RE: Sweating warehouse floor in feed mill
cool floor and warm humid air will condinsate on floor
is the water table real close to the surface?
did the contractor put down a plasic vapor bariar before they poured the concrete?
for us plains state guy, this time of year is cold and dry mostly, if you can get the floors dry, you might try the white concrete block sealer on areas with mild trafic, this will keep the mosture below the surface.
Location has a lot ot due with how you can fix this problem

You ned to super clean the floor first, with a mild acid ( yuk)
then after you roll down the paint, sprinkel it lightty with dry sand,, it makes sweeping dificult but you get added traction from the sand
also you may find that the paint may help a lot??
we get some of that same thing up here in Nebraska

Do you notice moisture on metal items in the area when the floors show up wet? I'm thinking grinders, motors, metal castings, etc..
If you do, it is due to condensation and not ground moisture.
I have this problem in a shop that has a well insulated floor with a good vapor barrier.

I'm not an engineer...........but I think the sweating is a result of a hydroscopic effect from perhaps the salt contents of the feeds and dust and not a sub floor moisture problem.
My first day here; nice site and forum!
Be safe.
