seal for concrete floor slab to prevent oil getting absorbed

[AskTooMuch]

That is also non-slippery if it gets wet. This is indoor slab where vehicles msy park inside. One of the requirements is to make it oil resistant. Definitely lots of these seal (epoxy, etc..) in the market. What do they use in car repair shop?

My local slab on grade design guide (NZ) suggests for oils both methods A and B together, though this is I think more to do with preventing deterioration/attack of the concrete itself rather than any cosmetic issues. I guess it depends on what they mean by 'oil resistant', so you might need to ask exactly what they are intending when they use something generic like 'oil resistance' being required:-

This guide also refers the reader to ACI201.2r-92 for protective barriers, so that might be of help.

Most car repair places I've been to have oil stains all over the place, and generally might have mats/trays or similar to catch the worst of it when they are actually working on the vehicles.

Most auto shops use an epoxy or urethane coating on the floor. Best if done before any oil gets on the slab, otherwise significant cleaning required.

Most auto shops I see use bare, slick finished concrete.
What about a chemical surface hardener?
