They sent me papers along with the product that told how long a bunch of different chemicals could sit on the floor before it became a problem. They listed transmission fluid, brake fluid, anti-freeze, oils etc. Salts weren't even a consideration so I'm thinking not a huge problem.
I firmly believe that regardless whose epoxy you end up using there is more damage that comes from under the paint than what happens on top of it once it's down (assuming someone uses a little prudence in cleaning the floor). Preparation of the cement is everything. If you leave oil on the concrete and then put the paint down it's going to come up. If the floor has water leaching through it the epoxy is going to come up. Preperation is everything!
Hmmm.... where have we heard that before?
UCoatIt will send you a DVD that shows all of their crack and cement repair products as well as how to install their product. I think it cost $10 or something like that but they apply it towards any purcahase price should you decide to buy. They make some pretty ugly (cracked, chunked, not level) floors look really nice in their video.
