What WP-S10 Waterproof DSLR Case is made of, ingredients and materials
The WP-S10 is a rigid plastic case with sealed gaskets designed for water ingress prevention. DiCaPac does not publicly disclose the specific polymer resin (polycarbonate, polyethylene, ABS, or other) or gasket material composition. The waterproof function relies on mechanical seals rather than surface coatings, so coating degradation is not a primary concern; however, the gasket material and any internal plasticizers or flame retardants in the case itself remain unspecified.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
BPA & bisphenols
Gaskets may contain plasticizers or flame retardants; no material composition is disclosed. If PVC or other flexible polymers are used in seals, phthalates or other additives are possible but unconfirmed.
Source, FDA ↗Off-gassing from plastic case interior
Closed or newly sealed cases may trap volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the plastic polymer or adhesives used in assembly. Ventilation before first use is prudent, though no specific off-gassing incidents are on record for this model.
PFAS
Waterproof gaskets and seals in consumer products commonly incorporate PFAS to achieve water repellency and durability. DiCaPac has not disclosed whether this case uses PFAS-free alternatives, making this a key unknown.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Microplastics
Hard plastics like polycarbonate or polyethylene are unlikely to shed microplastics during normal use; however, gasket degradation over time could contribute fine particles to the sealed environment.
Source, EPA ↗Heavy metals
No reports of lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals in DiCaPac case colorants or branding; rigid plastic cases typically do not use glazes or enamels that carry this risk.

The brand's record and disclosure
DiCaPac has not issued public statements about PFAS content, material certifications, or third-party testing of their waterproof cases. The brand does not list chemical composition or hazard disclosures on product pages readily accessible to consumers. Without active transparency or relevant certifications (ISO 14001, Cradle-to-Cradle, or similar), it is difficult to assess whether production or waterproofing decisions incorporate any intentional or legacy PFAS use.
How it compares in its category
Rigid waterproof camera cases are typically made from polycarbonate or polyethylene; many competitors (e.g., Pelican, Storm Case) also do not disclose waterproofing materials by default. DiCaPac's positioning as an affordable option may reflect lower material specification transparency compared to premium brands. The WP-S10 is not distinguished by known certifications or third-party safety testing that would set it apart in terms of chemical disclosure.
If you buy it
Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent plastic brittleness and gasket degradation over years of use. Clean gaskets periodically with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before sealing, to prevent bacterial or mold growth in the sealed chamber. Replace gaskets if they crack, harden, or no longer form an airtight seal. Do not store camera equipment in this case for extended periods without ventilation, as trapped moisture or off-gassing from the plastic interior could affect equipment.
