It depends on the humidity, warmth, and other factors such as air movement and brand of sealer.
It'll be tough enough to walk on with sock feet in 24-48 hours. Most typical cure to maximum hardness are 3-5 days with constant air movement.
Only a pro can tell you for sure.

Do you need to etch the existing epoxy floor before you apply the new epoxy paint?
Etching only benefits bare concrete floors. If you want to ensure that your new coating will adhere to your old coating, blend enough of the epoxy to cover a single square foot section, let it cure for a week, then check the adhesion by scoring a cross-hatch design in the new coating, put some duct tape across the scored area, then quickly pull up the tape. If the epoxy comes up, then you will have to remove the old coating prior to recoating the floor.
What is the difference between a polyurethane PU coating and a thermoplastic polyurethane TPU coating?
A thermoset is a material that cures or sets into a given shape, generally through the application of heat. A cured, thermoset material will not remelt or otherwise regain the processibility it had before being cured. Curing changes the material forever. A thermoplastic material softens (becomes pliable and plastic) when heated, but it does not cure or set. It can be reheated to be reformed.
When is green concrete considered cure?

What are some tips on floor refinishing?
The first step of wood floor refinishing is sanding off the current finish. Make sure your flooring hasn't already been sanded too many times, or it may need to be replaced entirely. Start with a very coarse sandpaper and gradually move toward finer grits. Only apply one coat of the wood stain, or some parts of the flooring may absorb more stain and your finish will be uneven. The final step is applying the polyurethane coating. Coat several times and allow it to cure for 3 to 7 days before replacing furniture.
