List of Resin-safe materials for vat/build plate

I was wondering if we have any chemists on the forum that would be able to help out with what plastics and metals are safe for contact with photopolymer resins?

It seems really hard to find out this information without learning some more chemistry myself.
My list so far includes:
Glass
Aluminium
Steel (I did read somewhere this could cause some reaction though and needs confirmation)
PLA
Acrylic

List that do NOT work include:
ABS

If anyone can add to this list, that'd be great!
