It an expoxy resin based thick coat 'mortar' flooring system. Hi build( in that they are c 5-8mm thick and can be used to level concrete slabs to a degree. Also the aggregate in them (usually different coloured sands can be custom and on site mixed to provide the colours/ tones wanted)....
The prime reason for their use in hospital/ primary schools is that they are impervious and easily 'deep cleaned' with decent chemicals. As the OP's picture shows they can be made into curved covings which help hygiene, cleaning etc.
They are also hard wearing with respect to footfall and low weight rolling trolleys etc.
And comfortable to walk on as they have a slight resiliance in them.
This is their greatest downfall as they do not necessarily have great concentrated point load resistance and stability.. at least not the ones I have had installed.
If you are simply going to park on it its possibly a bit of overkill and as for using in a workshop then I htink the 'softness' might be an issue.
Also the issue of petrol slippages is one to be mindful of...the thickness of resin may be detrimentally affected by petrol on it...or oil, let alone brake fluid etc. This is why resin paint is so popular..as its easy (ish) to clean.. hear wearing and if it does peel/ bubble off at least the concerte below remains steady.
