Scanstrut ROKK 10W Waterproof Wireless Charger
Waterproof wireless charger; PFAS risk from coatings unclear, no disclosure.
Waterproof electronics typically use water-repellent coating coatings, often PFAS-based. Scanstrut provides no material transparency or PFAS claims. Moderate concern without lab testing or brand disclosure.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The ROKK 10W uses a plastic housing with waterproof coatings to achieve its IP rating. Waterproof/water-resistant polymers and conformal coatings often rely on fluorinated compounds (PFAS) to repel water, though Scanstrut/Waterproof Co. has not disclosed specific coating chemistry. The internal electronics include a wireless charging coil and control circuitry, which generate minimal heat compared to direct-charge devices, reducing thermal leaching risk from the plastic housing.
The brand's record and disclosure
Scanstrut and Waterproof Co. have no established public disclosure of PFAS use, restricted substance testing, or environmental/health certifications on record for this product. No major recalls or safety controversies specific to this model are documented. The brand's silence on waterproof coating chemistry is notable given that waterproofing is its primary marketing feature and likely depends on PFAS-bearing materials.
How it compares in its category
Waterproof wireless chargers universally face PFAS exposure risk due to water-repellent coating requirements. This 10W model sits in the mid-power wireless charging segment, where thermal output is lower than fast chargers, reducing plastic off-gassing concerns. Competitors (e.g., established brands like OtterBox, Lifeproof) rarely disclose coating PFAS content either, making this a category-wide transparency gap rather than a brand-specific weakness.
If you buy it
Keep the charger away from direct heat sources and do not intentionally heat the plastic housing. Clean the device with dry cloth only; avoid soaking or prolonged water immersion beyond its rated IP level, as water breach could expose internal polymer coatings. Replace after 3-5 years if cracks, discoloration, or coating degradation appear. If waterproof coating integrity is your primary concern, request material safety data sheets from the retailer before purchase.
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 leachables (PFAS and fluorinated polymers)
Waterproof conformal coatings and water-repellent polymer blends commonly contain fluorinated compounds; Scanstrut has not disclosed coating formulation, so PFAS presence cannot be ruled out. Risk is minimized during normal wireless charging use but increases if coating degrades or if device is heated.
Plastic housing off-gassing (VOCs)
10W wireless chargers generate low heat output (typically under 50C on the plastic surface). No specific VOC emissions or thermal degradation concerns have been reported for this model. Standard plastic housings at low operating temperatures pose minimal off-gassing risk.
Internal electronics/coil insulation degradation
Repeated charge cycles and minor moisture ingress can degrade insulation coatings on the charging coil over time, though wireless chargers are generally more robust than wired devices. No field failures specific to this model are documented.
Bacterial or fungal growth in waterproof seals
Waterproof gaskets and seal cavities can harbor moisture and microbial growth if water enters during heavy use or if seals are compromised. This is a general risk for waterproof electronics, not specific to this brand, but cleaning seals periodically reduces risk.
Lead or heavy metals in solder joints and circuit board coatings
Most consumer electronics manufacturers have phased out lead solder under RoHS compliance. No specific concerns regarding this model's internal electronics have been reported, though formal third-party testing results are not publicly available.
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.
