When its installed you can get a silica sand type product that makes it very non slip along with the paint chips. They also recommend sanding and acid etch of the concrete, sealing and then paint.

I live in Indiana and had a company come out from about 2 hrs away. Epoxy with the colored flakes and a bit of aluminum silica for grip. It can still be a bit slippery, but on my last garage I had them use a lot of silica and the mop head left all kinds of fuzz from the grip. There's a happy medium I'm sure. And as mentioned above, they will still have to diamond grind the concrete for proper adhesion, new pour or not.

I use a solvent based two part quality epoxy (Palguard) for color, toughness, and adhesion. I don't believe an etch or sand blast or grind is necessary for all the garage floors I have done. More important they be dry, and as oil free as you achieve. Oil that soaks into raw concrete, is not mechanically removed, period. After the above epoxy cures, I top coat the epoxy with clear two part solvent based urethane, which looks and wears great, doesn't dull/chalk, and makes clean ups a cinch, when wet, its slippery, and I'm OK with that. I believe any additives applied for extra grit, are just a never ending future source of "dust", as the gritted surface abraids, the whole point I paint raw concrete in the first place. So pick your poison.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Keep in mind that while the abrasive silica they give you to put down is good for traction when the floor is wet, it makes the floor a total pain to clean. That stuff tears up anything you try to use to mop up messes. I did my own U CoatIt epoxy on the floor on the garage at my previous house it that stuff was hard to get spread around evenly and was no fun to try to clean.

I just coated part of my garage floor w a new Rustoleum product, I did NOT use the included paint chips to prevent slipping for exactly that reason my floor is a working floor and making it easier to keep clean was the purpose of the coating. My advice in applying it, is apply it thicker than you think, I sporead mine too thin and got a lot of pin spots as a result.
