What is the best way to seal and protect a plywood table Workbench?

I am taking a work plan with a beautiful piece of plywood Baltic birch. How I can treat or finish the wood surface to protect themselves against cleaning solvents, lubricants, machinery and waste to be submitted lifetime? I guess it's a shame to hide a piece of wood in Nice, but the only reason I went with Baltic birch is very possible that some the edges, without having to deal with a flashing on the sides – So for $ 50, I have a simple 1.5 "thick 2.5 'x5' round surface work smooth.

Yes, as Jan said, I would put something in it or in the future will be ruined by solvents. If you have applied all the wood, could be covered in resin epoxy. The poly urethane and urethane will be destroyed after a certain time with solvents. Paint Peel and crack over time. You can use an oil-based paint, are more difficult to find. If you are trapped in the wood, use Danish oil (which penetrate the wood) can cover either a wax or use or followers (several layers), heck Use a nail or paint, but solvents will destroy most of the finishes anycase.
