Chipboard
I live in a house that was built in the early 80's, the sub floor they put down is chip board.Is there a way to seal it or protect it somehow?

What do you mean "seal it?" For protection or to act as a exposed floor?

I would just lay the carpet on it... unless you soak your carpet in water it should be fine.

cheapest "sealer" is "Parks" white shellac. "Parks" is used as a sanding sealer. It is alcohol solvent based so it evaporates quickly. If you want a pigmented sealer Zissner's "kilz" would do the job.

You could always paint on Bullseys, or Zinsser, both these products are fairly cheap and are vapor barrier paints. Often they are used to cover previous owners :bad pet" spots as they will also lock in any smells.
