Not sure if this is the right place. Sorry if its not (its kind of a shed)

I have been building a large workshop since June, its a 9m x 3m wooden building. I have dedicated 3m of it to a clean room for 3D printing and CAD work. I have carpet this section. The main "dirty" section is raw OSB. I wanted to apply a coating/covering to it that was hardwearing but mainly something that hid the uneven OSB. I had planned to use an epoxy paint but after testing this on my shed floor I wasn't happy with the results.

Does anybody have any ideas? What about self levelling floor compound?

Thanks

On my uneven concrete garage floor where the workbench is I use cheap Vinyl flooring.
As a pro it was relativity cheap, It hides the uneven floor, makes it very easy to clean (vacuum and/or mop), makes room lighter, and easy to find items when I drop them.
As a con it does get damaged when I drop sharp items on it or stand on screws/nails. (But still looking better than concrete after 5 years of use)
Not sure if hard wearing enough for your use, but here is a random link:

suggestions are

Costco ( and others) do tread plate style plastic flooring for garages
They also do interlocking tiles ( also in B&q) which will have a cushion effect
Hardboard that is varnished?

So long as it doesn't get soaking wet, OSB is surprisingly hard wearing

I've used OSB that has been outside for over a year.

I wouldn't use it for a floor though. It's too vulnerable to point loads.
