Ideal work surface for electroplating

I am building a bench for an electroforming/electroplating tank to sit on and would appreciate any advice on the most suitable and economical material to cover the top of the bench. I assume stainless steel would be preferable but wondered if polypropylene or similar would be ok. Thank you. Pete

PVC would be ideal. PP is fine chemically, but is flammable. Stainless would be acceptable but not as good.
