What is epoxy?

Epoxy is a term that’s come to represent a class of materials and the act of using those materials. Epoxy “systems” are based on a combination of resins and hardeners. When mixed together, the resin and hardener chemically react to form a rigid plastic material. The final material is strong, durable, resistant, and bonds extremely well to most base layers. Epoxy floors are so strong that they’re often used in heavy traffic areas such as industrial environments, hospitals, or sports facilities.

A big difference of epoxy and paint is that epoxy doesn't dry, it cures. Most Epoxy steps (primer, grout coat, top coat etc) takes from 8-12 hours to cure. But if you need something with a quicker turnaround time you can opt for poly-urethane, poly-aspartic or even Methylmethacrylate adhesives (MMA's) which could reduce cure times to 1-4 hours cure time.
