800 Series Waterproof Wireless Phone Charger
Skip until material composition is disclosed.
Smartdevil provides no public details on waterproof coatings or adhesives used. Wireless chargers often contain Teflon-family coating or other water-repellent coating treatments that may contain PFAS. Request material transparency before purchase.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Smartdevil has not publicly disclosed the specific waterproof coating or adhesive chemistry used in this charger. Wireless charging pads typically use silicone, polyurethane, or epoxy adhesives to seal electronics against moisture, and waterproof coatings often contain fluorinated compounds (PFAS-based) or alternative hydrophobic polymers. Without material specification, you cannot determine whether the adhesive off-gases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during use, whether the coating degrades with heat cycles from charging, or whether it leaches compounds into dust or skin contact areas.
The brand's record and disclosure
Smartdevil does not appear to maintain a publicly accessible safety data sheet or material composition statement for this product. The brand has shown no documented commitment to PFAS disclosure or phase-out, and there are no third-party certifications (FCC safety testing covers electromagnetic fields only, not material toxicity). This silence on chemical composition is unusual for a product marketed as waterproof, since waterproofing chemistry is a core safety question for personal electronics.
How it compares in its category
Wireless chargers in this price tier typically use either silicone or polyurethane gaskets with epoxy edge seals. Premium alternatives (Apple, Samsung, Anker) disclose their adhesive standards and often use PFAS-free hydrophobic polymers. Budget and unbranded products frequently omit composition data entirely, forcing consumers to infer safety from regulatory compliance stamps alone, which address electromagnetic emissions but not chemical leachate.
If you buy it
Do not place the charger in high-heat environments or near infants' skin for prolonged contact. Inspect the seal annually for cracking or discoloration, which signals coating or adhesive breakdown and increased off-gassing. If the product has a strong chemical smell on arrival or after heating (typical of some waterproof sealants), allow 48 hours outdoor airing in a well-ventilated space. Request a material safety data sheet from the vendor before purchase; refusal to provide one is a red flag.
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.”
Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from waterproof adhesive/coating
Waterproof sealants and adhesives used in phone chargers often release VOCs (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, or other aliphatic hydrocarbons) during curing and thermal cycling. Smartdevil's silence on adhesive chemistry means low-volatility vs. high-volatility products cannot be distinguished.
Coating degradation and microparticle shedding
Repeated charging cycles generate heat. If the waterproof coating is not rated for sustained 35-45°C temperatures or is inadequately cross-linked, it may flake or crack, shedding polymer particles into the charging environment and potentially into contact with skin or nearby food.
Leachate from adhesive into moisture condensate
In humid environments, moisture can accumulate inside the charger or at the seal interface. If the adhesive or coating is not inert (e.g., certain epoxies or polyurethane formulations), polar compounds may leach into this condensate and, if the product malfunctions, could contact skin or electronics.
Inadequate electromagnetic shielding integrity if seal degrades
No public reports of EMF leakage linked to coating failure in this model. However, if the waterproof seal fails, the metal shielding inside may corrode, theoretically altering the product's electromagnetic profile, though this is a secondary concern compared to chemical leachate.
PFAS in waterproof coating (graded separately but note the uncertainty)
Fluorinated waterproof coatings (common in sealed electronics) often contain PFAS. Smartdevil's PFAS grade of 40/100 and refusal to disclose coating chemistry strongly suggest possible PFAS use; this is the primary reason to skip.
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.
