100 Series Waterproof Wireless Charger
Skip until waterproof treatment details disclosed.
Smartdevil provides no information on waterproofing chemistry. Wireless chargers typically use epoxy or urethane sealants, but unknown coatings raise PFAS concern without transparency.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The 100 Series uses plastic housing, rubber gaskets, and metal contacts with an unspecified waterproof coating. The coating is the main concern: manufacturers often use Teflon-family coating (Teflon-type coating-based) or silicone sealants for waterproofing, and some Teflon-family coating treatments can release PFAS compounds under heat or degradation. Without material disclosure from Smartdevil, the actual chemistry and leaching risk remain unclear. Metal components and internal circuitry are standard but should not contact food or skin directly.
The brand's record and disclosure
Smartdevil has not publicly disclosed the specific waterproof coating chemistry, material sourcing, or PFAS testing results for the 100 Series. No established certifications (like UL, CE, or independent PFAS testing) are visible in available product documentation. The silent stance on PFAS is a red flag for a product marketed as waterproof, since waterproofing treatments are a known PFAS exposure pathway. Brand transparency on electronics safety is minimal.
How it compares in its category
Wireless chargers compete primarily on convenience and durability rather than material safety. Most competitors (Samsung, Anker, Belkin) also do not extensively disclose waterproof coating chemistry, making this product typical in lack of transparency. Devices with sealed, rated IP67+ waterproofing are more likely to use Teflon-family coating than those with simpler rubber gaskets. The 100 Series' "waterproof" claim is vague; actual submersion depth and coating durability are unspecified.
If you buy it
Keep the charger dry between uses and avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade coatings and increase leaching risk. Do not submerge unless you have confirmed IP rating documentation. Replace the unit if the rubber seal cracks or the coating visibly flakes, as the waterproof barrier then fails. Store in a cool, low-humidity space to minimize coating breakdown over time.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Waterproof coating leachates (non-PFAS)
Even if the coating is not PFAS-based, silicones and other sealants can release small organic compounds under heat, humidity, or aging. Risk is low in typical use but increases if the charger overheats or the coating degrades.
Plastic off-gassing (housing volatiles)
Plastic casings may off-gas low-molecular-weight volatile compounds over time, especially if exposed to heat or UV light. In a sealed or poorly ventilated space, accumulation is theoretically possible but unlikely to reach harmful levels in normal tabletop use.
Metal component corrosion and particle release
Charging contacts are typically nickel-plated or gold-plated to resist oxidation. If the waterproof seal fails and moisture reaches internal metal, corrosion could release trace metals; no such failures are publicly reported for this model.
Rubber gasket degradation
Rubber seals can degrade after repeated thermal cycling or prolonged UV exposure, compromising the waterproof barrier. Once failed, water ingress risks electrical hazard and mold growth inside the housing rather than direct chemical exposure.
Lack of thermal runaway control clarity
Wireless chargers generate moderate heat; Smartdevil does not publicly specify thermal cutoff mechanisms or maximum operating temperature. Extended use on unventilated surfaces could theoretically overheat the coating, though most modern chargers include basic thermal controls.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
