DiCAPac WP-S10 Marine Case for Camera
No coating described, and no PFAS statement from the brand.
The product information we reviewed describes polymer waterproof case, with no water-repellent coating named. Water resistance on products like this usually comes from the material and its seals rather than a surface treatment. The brand has published no PFAS statement for it.

What DiCAPac WP-S10 Marine Case for Camera is made of, ingredients and materials
The WP-S10 is a rigid polymer waterproof enclosure, typically polycarbonate or similar thermoset plastic, with mechanical seals (gaskets and latches) rather than applied coatings. This design avoids the leaching and degradation risks associated with enameled or ceramic-coated cookware. The seal integrity is what delivers water resistance, not a surface treatment that can wear or flake.
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.
Seal degradation and water ingress
Rubber or silicone gaskets degrade over time or with UV exposure; loss of seal integrity allows water entry, potentially damaging electronics rather than the case itself. This is a mechanical failure, not a chemical hazard.
Latch or hinge metal corrosion
Metal fasteners or hinges may corrode if exposed to salt water or stored in high-humidity environments, though this is cosmetic and does not affect case function or user safety. Material composition of hardware not publicly disclosed.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Microplastic leaching from polymer body
No evidence that rigid polycarbonate cases leach microplastics into camera equipment or user contact surfaces under normal use. Risk is negligible unless case is heated or abraded internally.
Heavy metals
No public testing or recalls identify cadmium, lead, or antimony in DiCAPac case materials. Generic polymer cases do not typically require colorant or stabilizer profiles that pose contact hazards.
Source, FDA ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
Rigid thermoset polymer does not emit formaldehyde resins; brief, mild off-gassing of manufacturing residues may occur but dissipates quickly in open air and poses no documented risk to cameras or users.

The brand's record and disclosure
DiCAPac is a specialized camera case manufacturer with no public record of product safety recalls or material disclosure controversies in established databases. The brand does not publish detailed chemical composition or flame retardant/plasticizer statements. No formal certifications (ISO, FDA, or third-party testing) are publicly documented for this model.
How it compares in its category
Waterproof camera cases in this segment (hard polymer with mechanical seals) are a mature, lower-risk category compared to cookware or cosmetics. Competitors (Pelican, OtterBox) also use similar polymer construction without documented hazard issues. The WP-S10's compact design and modest price point place it in the mainstream consumer protection market with typical material expectations.
If you buy it
Keep seals clean and dry before closure; replace gaskets every 2-3 years or if visible cracks appear, as seal degradation is the primary failure mode. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to slow polymer brittleness. Do not expose to prolonged heat above 60C (140F), which can compromise seal flexibility. Inspect latches for corrosion if stored in salty or humid environments.
