To answer your question you can either check one by one the datasheets from Polymaker, which provide various statements about it (weak acids, strong acids, oil, solvants, and so on) for all their materials, or you can go for a summary (quite generic and without sources, actually) from for example from Prusa

In particular, PETG and PC (usually holding well against many agents) are said to "Resists poorly. Significant swelling and change in weight of the test sample (4-5% change in weight or dimensions) occurs with prolonged exposure of the polymer.".

On the other hand, with PP and PA you can have "Resists very well. Polymer does not melt, absorb substance, or swell during a week’s immersion (less than 1% change in weight and dimensions)."

PA can be bought easily and it costs half as much as PP so you may want to try that PA first.
