food grade is what you want
the recycling logos will give you a clue I typically prefer HDPE or Polyethylene |

P.P. is safe IME. I made my RO/DI storage tank out of P.P. I also made my salt mixing tank out of polypropylene. Quite awhile back I used to make wet/dry systems out of P.P. Some food packaging is P.P. Check the recycling logo as mentioned above. I use Scranton or Quadrant brand of P.P. sheet. You can check them out for more info.
