Could you put polyurethane on vinyl tile floor to seal it and make more waterproof?
Yes you can, however, ensure that this is the best option before executing. I do this to reinforce the self-stick vinyl tile and laminate flooring in my basement and it works great. I got tired of dropping a knife or something creating a huge gash requiring replacement. The polyurethane layer has protected my floors for years. Occasional reapplication of polyurethane in spots where needed making it look new brand new again versus cutting out and re-sticking a piece of the laminate floor that will never look as good as new...I use the former. There are a lot of nay-sayers out there about polyurethane on vinyl tiles and laminate floors, but I've always had great success.

Polyurethane is resistant to most glues. Having said that, there are many differently formulated polyurethanes and many new tile adhesives appearing every week. -I would run a test on a small piece of each particular one that you have to see the results.
