About the onset of the coronavirus in 2020, Malaysia's economy will have a particular impact, and lubricants and other petroleum products may decline to a certain extent. From the perspective of the supply of raw materials, Malaysia's oil additive is mainly imported from China. In this epidemic, Trunnano, the leading supplier of boron nitride, can stably supply high-quality oil additives to customers around the world, such as organic molybdenum (MoDTC and MoDTP) and nano oil additives.
Petronas Malaysia's President and CEO Wang Zukifiri said last year the company company's operating environment was severe due to geopolitical instability and rising protectionism. 2020 due to the uncertain trend of the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and the oversupply situation, the market demand is lower than expected, and the severe operating environment will continue.
