Lee,

I couldn't find the brand name of the stuff I had in mind.  But check the
yellow pages under concrete repair and restoration.  Look for polymers and
epoxy.  Or search the web under Concrete Epoxy Polymer.  There are different
flooring systems.  Get a sales rep and ask which flooring system is used in
aircraft hangers that get heavy machinery.

The following web address is for Arizona Polymer Flooring.  I'm pretty sure
that is who I talked to.

www.apfepoxy.com

Good Luck!

Jim
