	Ummm, seriously? Google couldn't help you out with this one or are there more design parameters? Anyway, my personal favorites include: stainless steels, phenolic resins, nearly any glazed ceramic or non-porous ceramic, and nylon (especially nylon 12,12). __________________ All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man. -Thoreau
