A finish for hardboard?

I am wrapping up a shop project that has hardboard shelves. I was considering adding some type of finish to help protect the hardboard selves from the wear and tear. Will hardboard take a finishes just like wood, could I just use on some Arm-R-Seal? What about finishes for MDF?

Thanks,

My workbench has a hardboard top with several coats of poly. I don't have a p[roblem with it at all. A couple of times a year I scrape glue and finish drips off, give it a light sanding and throw on a couple more coats.
