Hi fellow "TechNeter's",
        My question doesn't exactly fall into the "high tech" category but
any input I can get will be appreciated. We are expanding our facility and
part of the expansion includes the screening department. When we built the
facility 8 years ago we used vinyl tiles on the floor though out the
building. This made it easy to keep clean and gave it an overall
professional look. 
        The problem in screening is that whenever soldermask or legend
material is dropped on the floor and a solvent coated rag is used to wipe it
up it takes part of the surface with it. The appearance has become so gross
that we try to avoid the area as much as possible when giving customer
tours. Please,don't suggest getting neater screening personel. I am fond of
the ones we currently have.
        Is there a coating that could be applied that is strong enough to
withstand the solvent (acetone) used for cleanup and still look good and
hopefully provide a non-slip surface. The only option I am aware of is
epoxie paint, but I have used it in other applications and been somewhat
unhappy with the results.

        Any suggestions? Thanks
