Not sure what you mean by polyurethene based paints, since there are oil based poly and water based poly both. [links]
Unless you're the lead dog, the view just never changes. more
No. There are standardized industry tests developed and adopted by both the Federal government and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) which measure the amount of water repellency a waterproofing product provides. Products for wood must be greater than 60% efficient at providing water repellency in order to meet the minimum water repellency criteria. Not all products provide this much protection, but nearly all Thompson’s ® WaterSeal ® products exceed this standard. more
Q: Are all waterproofers basically the same? more
Not with Thompson’s ® WaterSeal ® exterior stains . They are specially formulated so you get unsurpassed waterproofing protection and beautiful color at the same time. However, not all stains provide the same level of water repellency. If you are not using Thompson’s ® WaterSeal ® exterior stains, we can’t guarantee how much waterproofing protection you’re getting.

Yes. Although pressure-treated lumber is pre-treated with chemicals, preventing insect damage, it is NOT waterproofed. In fact, the chemical treatment actually causes the lumber to dry out quicker and absorb more water than untreated lumber. When wood absorbs water, it swells; as the wood dries it shrinks. These wet/dry cycles cause wood to crack, warp and split. more
One gallon of water as a vehicle, and after drying, hundreds of gallons of
rain just can't get in.

It's probably bad. Take it back for an exchange.
I bought a new 5 gal. pail of Thompsons the other day to finish my
deck, I opened it up and its milky! What gives my other (older) single gal
is clear fluid. The look of the pail is the same but the product seems to
have changed.
Any ideas on this. I don't like the milky product, I tested it on a concrete
section of my patio and it is now blotchy. Yet a section of the patio done
with the older pail looks fine.

She was referring to the risk of fire and explosion when applying the
product. The old product was wax dissolved in a fammable solvent.
The new product is something (possibly wax and an emulsifier)
dissolved in a nonflammable solvent. here
