Plasmatreat Introduces HydroPlasma®: A Sustainable Breakthrough in High-Performance Surface Cleaning

STEINHAGEN, Germany, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plasmatreat GmbH, the global leader in atmospheric plasma technology, has unveiled HydroPlasma ®, an innovative, eco-friendly solution for ultra-precise cleaning of glass and metal surfaces. Combining the proven effectiveness of Openair-Plasma ® with the reactive power of ionized water, HydroPlasma ® sets a new benchmark for removing stubborn organic and inorganic contaminants, including fingerprints, oils, salts, and grease, without chemicals. Revolutionizing Cleanliness in High-Tech Industries and Processes In sectors like automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical manufacturing, even microscopic contaminants can compromise adhesion in critical processes such as bonding, coating, printing or sealing. Traditional cleaning methods often rely on solvents or wet-chemical treatments, but HydroPlasma ® delivers a chemical-free, sustainable alternative using only compressed air, electricity, and water. This advanced technology not only enhances cleaning efficiency but also supports environmentally responsible production. How HydroPlasma ® Works: Science Meets Sustainability HydroPlasma ® 's patented process injects water into a plasma jet, where it ionizes into a highly reactive cleaning stream. A precision nozzle directs this stream onto surfaces, dissolving residues with a detergent-like effect—no harsh chemicals required. Unlike conventional methods, HydroPlasma ®: Complementing Openair-Plasma ® for Unmatched Flexibility While Openair-Plasma ® remains ideal for light organic contaminants (dust, oils), HydroPlasma ® extends capabilities to challenging inorganic residues. Together, they offer a VOC-free, scalable cleaning suite for industries demanding zero-compromise cleanliness. Applications Across Industries HydroPlasma ® integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, including automotive manufacturing, electronics, and precision optics. Its gentle yet powerful cleaning is ideal for: Sustainability at the Core By eliminating solvents and reducing waste, HydroPlasma ® helps manufacturers cut carbon footprints while maintaining workplace safety and process reliability. What is Openair-Plasma ®? Plasma is also known as the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and gas. When additional energy is added to a gas, it becomes ionized and enters the energetic plasma state. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper, plasma technology is used to change the properties of the surface according to the requirements of the process.

NewJeans, Ador remain locked in high-stakes legal battle over exclusive contract

The girl group continues to accuse agency of mismanagement, while Ador says contract termination is baseless and driven by former CEO Min Hee-jin The legal standoff between K-pop girl group NewJeans and its agency Ador continues to escalate, with both sides presenting conflicting arguments over the validity of the group's exclusive contract. The Seoul Central District Court on Thursday held the third hearing in Ador's lawsuit seeking to confirm the enforceability of its contract with the five-member group. The NewJeans members, who attempted to terminate their contracts unilaterally in November, were not present in court; only their legal representatives attended. NewJeans' attorneys attributed the dispute to a now-concluded internal audit of former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin, which was initiated by parent company Hybe in May 2024. They argued that the audit — and Hybe's subsequent attempt to remove Min — were based on unfounded suspicions. On July 18, police cleared Min of criminal breach of trust allegations filed by Hybe last year; Hybe plans to appeal. The group's legal team further claimed that Ador failed to meet fundamental management responsibilities, alleging that this breach justified the artists' attempt to sever ties. Ador rejected the accusations, asserting that the reasons for contract termination have shifted over time and appear to have been constructed by NewJeans and their legal team retroactively. 'This is an unreasonable attempt to invalidate the contracts after the fact,' said a lawyer for Ador. The agency emphasized its financial investment in NewJeans, citing over 21 billion won ($15.3 million) spent on the group's development and debut. This included 7 billion won for the group's debut album and 2 billion won for music videos. 'Thanks to this support, NewJeans achieved explosive success — something even the court has acknowledged,' Ador's legal representative said. 'Yet despite this, the group attempted to unilaterally cancel its contracts just two years after its debut. Such a move cannot be permitted.' Ador also claimed that Min was the driving force behind the group's attempted departure. According to the agency's attorney, private messages exchanged between Min and former Ador executives revealed that she had been planning to 'take' NewJeans as early as three years ago. The messages allegedly outlined strategies for terminating the exclusive contract, including orchestrating plagiarism accusations against another Hybe-affiliated girl group, Illit, and manipulating media narratives. The agency also alleged that the legal notice to terminate the contract was drafted by Min's legal representatives, further pointing to her involvement. Responding to accusations of mismanagement, Ador maintained it had upheld its responsibilities and noted that each member had already received over 5 billion won in earnings. 'The agency is still preparing for the group's comeback,' Ador said. 'Our staff are waiting for the day they return.'

Police raid Hybe headquarters over chairman Bang Si-hyuk's alleged pre-IPO stock fraud

Police raided the headquarters of Hybe, the agency behind K-pop phenomenon BTS, in Yongsan, Seoul, at 9 a.m. Thursday, as part of an ongoing probe into alleged stock fraud by company chairman Bang Si-hyuk. The raid was carried out by the financial crime unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, which is investigating allegations that Bang misled early investors and earned illicit gains worth nearly 400 billion won ($292.7 million) ahead of the company's initial public offering in October 2020. The Seoul Southern District Court reportedly issued the search and seizure warrant on Wednesday, marking the first time authorities have executed a warrant in connection with the case. Hybe said it has no official statement on the matter. Police also declined to comment, saying, 'No specific details can be confirmed at this time.' The operation comes a week after the Securities and Futures Commission under the Financial Services Commission filed a criminal complaint against Bang, accusing him of violating the Capital Markets Act by engaging in unfair trading practices. Police had previously requested search warrants on April 30 and May 28, but prosecutors rejected both. The revised warrant was granted after the commission's formal complaint on July 16.
