Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of Koppers Holdings Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ (“Koppers”, “Koppers Holdings”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) financial position and interim results as of and for the periods presented have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Because our business is seasonal, results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been summarized from the audited balance sheet contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation as a result of reporting discontinued operations. See Note 4 – “Discontinued Operations.” The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. COVID-19 Assessment In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the current coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world, and the duration and severity of its effects are currently unknown. While we expect the effects of the pandemic to continue to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect certain estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of such assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, our goodwill, long-lived asset and identifiable intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes; the allowance for doubtful accounts; and measurement of cash incentive plans. In consideration of COVID-19, we evaluated our financial position and determined that a goodwill impairment evaluation triggering event did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and, therefore, an interim review of impairment was not required. Events and changes in circumstances arising after June 30, 2020, including those resulting from the impacts of COVID-19, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods. |

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | 2. New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 is meant to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on our financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which amends ASC 715-20, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on our financial statements . |

Plant Closures and Divestitures | 3. Plant Closures and Divestitures Over the past six years, we have been restructuring our Carbon Materials and Chemicals (“CMC”) segment in order to concentrate our facilities in regions where we believe we hold key competitive advantages to better serve our global customers. These closure activities include: • In February 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Koppers (Jiangsu) Carbon Chemical Company Limited (“KJCC”) to Fangda Carbon New Material Co., Ltd and C-Chem Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nippon Steel Chemical & Material Co., Ltd. Refer to for more details. • The cessation of naphthalene refining activities at our Follansbee, West Virginia coal tar distillation facility in the fourth quarter of 2018 subsequent to the commissioning of a new naphthalene refining plant in Stickney, Illinois. In August 2019, we ceased • In September 2018, we sold our UK-based specialty chemicals business • In November 2016, we sold our 30-percent interest in Tangshan Kailuan Koppers Carbon Chemical Company Limited (“TKK”) located in the Hebei Province in China. • In July 2016, we discontinued coal tar distillation activities at our CMC plant located in Clairton, Pennsylvania. In October 2018, we sold the facility and as part of the transaction, we transferred cash to the buyer and the buyer assumed decommissioning, demolition and site restoration responsibilities. • In March 2016, we discontinued production at our 60-percent owned CMC plant located in Tangshan, China. • In February 2016, we ceased coal tar distillation and specialty pitch operations at both of our United Kingdom CMC facilities. In July 2016, we sold substantially all of our CMC tar distillation properties and assets in the United Kingdom. • In April 2014, we ceased coal tar distillation activities at our CMC facility located in Uithoorn, the Netherlands. Other closure and divestiture activity relates to our Railroad Utility Products and Services (“RUPS”) segment. These activities include: • In June 2020, we announced the closure of a crosstie treating plant located in Denver, Colorado and we have targeted the third quarter of 2020 for discontinuing activities at this location and, as such, we recorded charges of $2.9 million for asset retirement obligations and $1.3 million for fixed asset write-offs and severance in the three months ended June 30, 2020. • • In August 2019, we sold our utility pole treatment plant located in Blackstone, Virginia. In August 2015, we closed a crosstie treating plant located in Green Spring, West Virginia. • In July 2015, we sold the assets of our 50 percent interest in KSA Limited Partnership, a concrete crosstie manufacturer. In addition, in 2011, we ceased carbon black production at our CMC facility located in Kurnell, Australia. Costs associated with this closure are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Discontinued Operations And Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Discontinued Operations | 4. Discontinued Operations On February 18, 2020, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell KJCC to Fangda Carbon New Material Co., Ltd and C-Chem Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nippon Steel Chemical & Material Co., Ltd. KJCC is located in China and is a 75 percent-owned coal tar distillation company which is part of our CMC segment. The sales price is $107.0 million, subject to adjustment for cash, debt and working capital at closing, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2020 due to required regulatory approvals in China and achievement of other customary closing conditions. At closing, we estimate the gain on the sale of KJCC will be approximately $45 million and net cash proceeds to Koppers will be approximately $65 million, after noncontrolling interest, taxes, expenses and working capital adjustments. The sale of KJCC represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and is, therefore, classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, which have been restated accordingly. Net sales and operating (loss) profit from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 consist of the following amounts: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Net sales $ 12.9 $ 26.0 $ 22.8 $ 84.0 Operating (loss) profit (0.2 ) 0.3 (5.3 ) 4.5 The cash flows related to KJCC have not been restated in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Net cash inflows and outflows from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 consist of the following amounts: Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (0.1 ) $ 16.5 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 0.1 (1.7 ) Net cash used in financing activities 0.0 (13.8 ) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash (0.2 ) (0.2 ) Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents (0.2 ) 0.8 Assets Held for Sale Assets and liabilities (the “disposal group”) are classified as held for sale when, among other items, the sale of the asset is probable and the completed sale is expected to occur within one year. Upon classification as held for sale, such assets are no longer depreciated or depleted, and a measurement for impairment is performed to determine if there is any excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent changes to estimated fair value less the cost to sell will impact the measurement of assets held for sale if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value of the assets. The agreement to sell KJCC met all of the criteria to classify its assets and liabilities as held for sale in the first quarter and as part of the required evaluation under the held for sale guidance, we determined that the approximate fair value less costs to sell the operations exceeded the carrying value of the net assets and no impairment charge was recorded. The following represents the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, by major class, classified as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Dollars in millions) Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 0.5 $ 0.7 Accounts receivable 0.4 2.2 Income tax receivable 0.7 0.8 Inventories, net 5.9 10.6 Property, plant and equipment, net 55.2 0.0 Operating lease right-of-use assets 1.1 0.0 Deferred tax assets 0.5 0.0 Other current assets 3.8 2.8 Total current assets held for sale 68.1 17.1 Property, plant and equipment, net 0.0 56.6 Operating lease right-of-use assets 0.0 1.2 Other assets 0.0 1.5 Total non-current assets held for sale 0.0 59.3 Total assets held for sale $ 68.1 $ 76.4 Liabilities Accounts payable $ 5.3 $ 7.1 Accrued liabilities 5.2 4.7 Current operating lease liabilities 1.0 0.1 Other current liabilities 22.9 0.0 Total current liabilities held for sale 34.4 11.9 Deferred tax liabilities 0.0 0.6 Operating lease liabilities 0.0 1.1 Other long-term liabilities 0.0 23.4 Total non-current liabilities held for sale 0.0 25.1 Total liabilities held for sale $ 34.4 $ 37.0 The above amounts are excluded from the respective balance sheet footnotes as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We have incurred aggregated deal costs related to this divestiture of $0.2 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which are included in income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. |

Fair Value Measurements | 5. Fair Value Measurements Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows: June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value (Dollars in millions) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash $ 33.0 $ 33.0 $ 32.3 $ 32.3 Investments and other assets (a) 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2 Financial liabilities: Total debt $ 857.0 $ 916.6 $ 896.2 $ 911.9 (a) Excludes equity method investments. Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Investments and other assets – Represents the broker-quoted cash surrender value on universal life insurance policies. This asset is classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy and is measured from values received from financial institutions. Debt – The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on the market prices for the same or similar issuances or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities (Level 2). The fair value of our Credit Facility approximates carrying value due to the variable rate nature of this instrument. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Common Share | 7. Earnings per Common Share The computation of basic earnings per common share for the periods presented is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. The computation of diluted earnings per common share includes the effect of non-vested nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units assuming such options and stock units were outstanding common shares at the beginning of the period. The effect of antidilutive securities is excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share, if any . The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions, except share amounts, in thousands) Net income attributable to Koppers $ 29.2 $ 14.7 $ 27.8 $ 26.2 Less: Income (loss) from discontinued operations 0.0 0.1 (4.4 ) 2.8 Plus: Non-controlling income (loss) 0.2 (0.3 ) (0.9 ) 0.6 Income from continuing operations attributable to Koppers $ 29.4 $ 14.3 $ 31.3 $ 24.0 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 21,001 20,662 20,927 20,619 Effect of dilutive securities 67 382 157 330 Diluted 21,068 21,044 21,084 20,949 Earnings per common share – continuing operations: Basic earnings per common share $ 1.40 $ 0.70 $ 1.50 $ 1.17 Diluted earnings per common share 1.40 0.68 1.49 1.15 Other data: Antidilutive securities excluded from computation of diluted earnings per common share 1,773 674 1,022 580 |

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock-based Compensation | 8. Stock-based Compensation We have outstanding stock-based compensation awards that were granted under the amended and restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 LTIP”), the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”) and the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2020 LTIP”). The 2005 LTIP, the 2018 LTIP and the 2020 LTIP are collectively referred to as the “LTIP”. On May 6, 2020, the 2020 LTIP was approved by our shareholders and the 2018 LTIP was frozen. Similar to the 2018 LTIP, the 2020 LTIP provides for the grant to eligible persons of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares , performance awards, dividend equivalents and other stock-based awards, which are collectively referred to as the “awards.” Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units Under the LTIP, the board of directors grants restricted stock units and performance stock units to certain employee participants (collectively, the “stock units”). Compensation expense for non-vested stock units is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock units is the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and the fair value of performance stock units is determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. For grants to most employees, the restricted stock units vest in four equal annual installments. Restricted stock units that have one-year Performance stock units have vesting based upon a market condition. These performance stock units have multi-year performance objectives and a three-year We calculated the fair value of the performance stock unit awards on the date of grant using the assumptions listed below: March 2020 Grant March 2019 Grant May March Grant date price per share of performance award $ 19.63 $ 26.63 $ 39.10 $ 41.60 Expected dividend yield per share 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Expected volatility 45.60 % 39.00 % 39.40 % 39.40 % Risk-free interest rate 0.72 % 2.50 % 2.35 % 2.35 % Look-back period in years 2.83 2.82 2.84 2.84 Grant date fair value per share $ 11.56 $ 40.30 $ 44.29 $ 47.12 Dividends declared, if any, on our common stock during the period prior to vesting of the stock units are credited at equivalent value as additional stock units and become payable as additional common shares upon vesting. In the event of termination of employment, other than retirement, death or disability, any non-vested stock units are forfeited, including additional stock units credited from dividends. In the event of termination of employment due to retirement, death or disability, pro-rata vesting of the stock units over the service period will result. There are special vesting provisions for the stock units related to a change in control. The following table shows a summary of the performance stock units as of June 30, 2020: Performance Period Minimum Shares Target Shares Maximum Shares 2018 – 2020 0 118,594 237,188 2019 – 2021 0 192,495 280,846 2020 – 2022 0 231,128 462,256 Performance stock units for the 2017 – 2019 performance period vested in March 2020 at 100 percent of the target share amount of 110,168. The following table shows a summary of the status and activity of non-vested stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2020: Restricted Stock Units Performance Stock Units Total Stock Units Weighted Grant Date Fair Value per Unit Non-vested at December 31, 2019 343,012 445,186 788,198 $ 40.18 Granted 360,661 232,481 593,142 $ 15.69 Vested (132,624 ) (110,168 ) (242,792 ) $ 44.75 Forfeited (31,068 ) (25,282 ) (56,350 ) $ 33.93 Non-vested at June 30, 2020 539,981 542,217 1,082,198 $ 26.05 Stock Options Stock options to most executive officers vest and become exercisable in four equal annual installments. The stock options have a term of ten years. In the event of termination of employment, other than retirement, death or disability, any non-vested options are forfeited. In the event of termination of employment due to retirement, death or disability, pro-rata vesting of the options over the service period will result. There are special vesting provisions for the stock options related to a change in control. Compensation expense for non-vested stock options is recorded over the vesting period based on the fair value at the date of grant. We calculated the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model and the assumptions listed below: March 2020 Grant March 2019 Grant March March Grant date price per share of stock option award $ 19.63 $ 26.63 $ 41.60 $ 44.10 Expected dividend yield per share 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.00 % Expected life in years 6.40 6.14 5.73 5.77 Expected volatility 42.85 % 39.44 % 37.05 % 39.70 % Risk-free interest rate 0.87 % 2.53 % 2.67 % 2.13 % Grant date fair value per share of option awards $ 8.42 $ 11.29 $ 16.38 $ 17.90 We do not expect to declare any dividends for the foreseeable future. The expected life in years is based on historical exercise data of options previously granted by us. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock and the historical volatility of certain other similar public companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury bill rates for the expected life of the option. The following table shows a summary of the status and activity of stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2020: Options Weighted Exercise Price per Option Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 31, 2019 966,849 $ 28.45 Granted 187,701 $ 19.63 Expired (5,129 ) $ 31.28 Forfeited (15,637 ) $ 33.44 Outstanding at June 30, 2020 1,133,784 $ 26.91 6.08 $ 0.5 Exercisable at June 30, 2020 771,797 $ 27.30 4.73 $ 0.5 Stock Compensation Expense Total stock-based compensation expense recognized under our LTIP and employee stock purchase plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Stock-based compensation expense recognized: Selling, general and administrative expenses $ 3.0 $ 3.1 $ 5.5 $ 5.9 Less related income tax benefit 0.8 1.1 1.5 1.9 Decrease in net income attributable to Koppers $ 2.2 $ 2.0 $ 4.0 $ 4.0 As of June 30, 2020 , total future compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements totaled $20.4 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 29 months |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 9. Segment Information We have three reportable segments: Railroad and Utility Products and Services, Performance Chemicals and Carbon Materials and Chemicals. Our reportable segments contain multiple aggregated business units since management believes the long-term financial performance of these business units is affected by similar economic conditions. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products with different production processes. Our RUPS segment sells treated and untreated wood products, manufactured products and services primarily to the railroad and public utility markets. Railroad products and services include procuring and treating items such as crossties, switch ties and various types of lumber used for railroad bridges and crossings and the manufacture of rail joint bars. The segment also manufactures treated wood utility transmission and distribution poles for utility and cooperative utility companies and treated wood pilings used for construction applications. In addition, RUPS operates a railroad services business that conducts engineering, design, repair and inspection services for railroad bridges as well as a business related to the recovery of used crossties. Our PC segment develops, manufactures, and markets wood preservation chemicals and wood treatment technologies and services a diverse range of end-markets including infrastructure, residential and commercial construction, and agriculture. Our CMC segment is primarily a manufacturer of creosote, carbon pitch, naphthalene, phthalic anhydride and carbon black feedstock. Creosote is used in the treatment of wood and carbon black feedstock is used in the production of carbon black. Carbon pitch is used in the production of aluminum and steel in electric arc furnaces. Naphthalene is used for the production of phthalic anhydride and as a surfactant in the production of concrete. Phthalic anhydride is used in the production of plasticizers, polyester resins and alkyd paints. We evaluate performance and determine resource allocations based on a number of factors, including operating profit or loss from operations and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Operating profit does not include other loss, interest expense, income taxes or operating costs of Koppers Holdings Inc. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, results in both billed accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, both classified as accounts receivable, net of allowance within the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Contract assets of $5.4 million and $5.1 million are recorded within accounts receivable in our RUPS segment, net of allowance within the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The following table sets forth certain sales and operating data, net of all intersegment transactions, for our segments for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Revenues from external customers: Railroad and Utility Products and Services $ 209.9 $ 199.1 $ 399.9 $ 365.2 Performance Chemicals 137.1 120.8 248.5 219.8 Carbon Materials and Chemicals (a) 89.6 123.9 190.1 235.7 Total $ 436.6 $ 443.8 $ 838.5 $ 820.7 Intersegment revenues: Railroad and Utility Products and Services $ 0.0 $ 0.2 $ 0.0 $ 0.5 Performance Chemicals 3.7 3.1 6.9 6.2 Carbon Materials and Chemicals 21.4 18.7 39.4 36.6 Total $ 25.1 $ 22.0 $ 46.3 $ 43.3 Depreciation and amortization expense: Railroad and Utility Products and Services $ 5.0 $ 4.8 $ 9.9 $ 9.6 Performance Chemicals 4.4 4.6 8.9 9.5 Carbon Materials and Chemicals (b) 3.9 3.1 8.0 7.0 Total $ 13.3 $ 12.5 $ 26.8 $ 26.1 Operating profit (loss): Railroad and Utility Products and Services $ 16.2 $ 11.8 $ 25.4 $ 20.5 Performance Chemicals 32.6 14.0 36.7 26.8 Carbon Materials and Chemicals (c) 1.5 13.0 2.2 16.2 Corporate (0.6 ) (0.7 ) (1.0 ) (1.1 ) Total $ 49.7 $ 38.1 $ 63.3 $ 62.4 (a) Revenue excludes KJCC discontinued operations of $12.9 million and $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $22.8 million and $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 10. Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to current year ordinary income and tax associated with discrete items. These discrete items generally relate to excess stock compensation deductions, changes in tax laws, adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits and changes of estimated tax to the actual liability determined upon filing tax returns. To determine the annual effective tax rate, management is required to make estimates of annual pretax income in each domestic and foreign jurisdiction in which we conduct business. Entities that have historical pre-tax losses and current year estimated pre-tax losses that are not projected to generate a future benefit are excluded from the estimated annual effective income tax rate. The estimated annual effective income tax rate, excluding discrete items discussed above, was 27.8 percent and 34.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The estimated annual effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to: June 30, 2020 2019 Federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % Foreign earnings taxed at different rates 3.1 0.9 Nondeductible expenses 1.5 1.6 GILTI inclusion, net of foreign tax credits 1.3 0.7 State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 0.6 0.8 Change in tax contingency reserves 0.1 0.2 Interest expense deduction limitation 0.0 9.8 Other 0.2 (0.3 ) Estimated annual effective income tax rate 27.8 % 34.7 % In reaction to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. This legislation provides stimulus and relief for affected entities and individuals and broadly provides tax payment relief and significant business incentives, and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Among its many provisions, the CARES Act modifies the limitation on the interest expense deduction for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020. This modification increases the allowable business interest expense deduction from 30 percent of adjusted taxable income to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income This modification impacts both our 2019 and 2020 income tax provisions and we have included the net impact in the six months ended June 30, 2020 income tax provision. We have recorded a benefit of $1.0 million for changes to our 2019 tax provision and a benefit of $4.4 million for the release of a valuation allowance that was recorded for interest expense deduction limitations that were previously not expected to be realized. Other provisions of the CARES Act do not have a material impact to our income tax provision. Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income were 21.4 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This is lower than the estimated annual effective income tax rate due to discrete items. Discrete items included in income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were a net benefit of $2.4 million. Discrete items were primarily related to a benefit for the release of a valuation allowance that was recorded for interest expense deduction limitations that were previously not expected to be realized. Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income were 35.9 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This is higher than the estimated annual effective income tax rate due to a change in the geographical mix of earnings and due to an increase in unfavorable US tax adjustments for the interest expense deduction limitation and the GILTI inclusion. Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income were 16.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This is lower than the estimated annual effective income tax rate due to discrete items. Discrete items included in income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were a net benefit of $4.2 million. Discrete items included a benefit for the release of a valuation allowance that was recorded for interest expense deduction limitations that were previously not expected to be realized Income taxes as a percentage of pretax income were 22.1 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This is lower than the estimated annual effective income tax rate due to discrete items. Discrete items included in income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were a net benefit of $3.7 million. Discrete items were primarily related to the reversal of various unrecognized tax benefits due to the closure of the Company’s U.S. tax audit. During the year, management regularly updates estimates of pre-tax income and income tax expense based on changes in pre-tax income projections by taxable jurisdiction, repatriation of foreign earnings, unrecognized tax benefits and other tax matters. To the extent that actual results vary from these estimates, the actual annual effective income tax rate at the end of the year could be materially different from the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Unrecognized Tax Benefits We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, individual U.S. state jurisdictions and non-U.S. jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, U.S. state, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016. Unrecognized tax benefits totaled $2.2 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate, was approximately $2.1 million and $2.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We recognize interest expense and any related penalties from unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accrued approximately $1.0 million and $0.8 million for interest and penalties, respectively.

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Pensions and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans | 13. Pensions and Post-Retirement Benefit Plans We maintain a number of defined benefit and defined contribution plans to provide retirement benefits for employees in the United States, as well as employees outside the United States These plans are maintained and contributions are made in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), local statutory law or as determined by the board of directors. The defined benefit pension plans generally provide benefits based upon years of service and compensation. Pension plans are funded except for three In the United States, all qualified and two of the non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for salaried and hourly employees have been closed to new participants and have been frozen. Accordingly, these pension plans no longer accrue additional years of service or recognize future increases in compensation for benefit purposes. The defined contribution plans generally provide retirement assets to employee participants based upon employer and employee contributions to the participant’s individual investment account. We also provide retiree medical insurance coverage to certain U.S. employees and a life insurance benefit to most U.S. employees. For salaried employees, the retiree medical and retiree insurance plans have been closed to new participants. The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit cost for the pension plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Service cost $ 0.4 $ 0.3 $ 0.7 $ 0.7 Interest cost 1.5 2.0 3.1 4.0 Expected return on plan assets (1.8 ) (2.0 ) (3.8 ) (4.0 ) Amortization of net loss 0.3 0.4 0.7 0.8 Net periodic benefit cost $ 0.4 $ 0.7 $ 0.7 $ 1.5 Defined contribution plan expense $ 2.3 $ 2.5 $ 4.0 $ 4.1 |

All other material terms, conditions and covenants with respect to the Credit Facility remain unchanged. The secured term loan has a quarterly amortization of $2.5 million and the interest rate on the Credit Facility is variable and is based on LIBOR. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Koppers Inc., Koppers Holdings Inc. and their material domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants for Koppers Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries that limit capital expenditures, additional indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments or acquisitions. In addition, such covenants give rise to events of default upon the failure by Koppers Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries to meet certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2020, we had $157.5 million of unused revolving credit availability for working capital purposes after restrictions from certain letter of credit commitments and other covenants. As of June 30, 2020, $7.1 million of commitments were utilized by outstanding letters of credit. Senior Notes due 2025 The 2025 Notes are senior obligations of Koppers Inc., are unsecured and are guaranteed by Koppers Holdings Inc. and certain of Koppers Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries. The 2025 Notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 and will mature on February 15, 2025 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. On or after February 15, 2020, we are entitled to redeem all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 104.5 percent of principal value, declining to a redemption price of 101.5 percent on or after February 15, 2022 until the redemption price is equivalent to the principal value on April 15, 2023. The indenture governing the 2025 Senior Notes includes customary covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of Koppers Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, incur liens, merge or sell all or substantially all of the assets of Koppers Inc. or its subsidiaries or enter into various transactions with affiliates. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | 16. Leases We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-10 on January 1, 2019 and recognized lease obligations and associated right-of-use assets for existing non-cancelable leases. We have non-cancelable operating leases primarily associated with railcars, office and manufacturing facilities, storage tanks, ships, production equipment and vehicles. Many of our leases include both lease (e.g., fixed rent) and non-lease components (e.g., maintenance and services). For certain asset classes such as railcars, storage tanks and ships, we have separated the lease and non-lease components based on the estimated stand-alone price for each component. For the remaining asset classes, we have elected the practical expedient to account for these components as a single lease component. Upon adoption, we elected other practical expedients as well, including retaining our current classification of existing leases upon adoption and excluding leases expiring within twelve months. Many of our leases include one or more options to renew. We evaluate renewal options at the lease commencement date and regularly thereafter to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option, in which case we include the renewal period in our lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Operating lease costs were $7.4 million and $15.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $7.9 million and $15.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Variable lease costs were $0.8 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 17. Derivative Financial Instruments We utilize derivative instruments to manage exposures to risks that have been identified and measured and are capable of being controlled. The primary risks managed by us by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk associated with copper and foreign currency exchange risk associated with a number of currencies, principally the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Euro and British pounds. Swap contracts on copper are used to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our manufacturing processes. Generally, we will not hedge cash flow exposures for durations longer than 36 months and we have hedged certain volumes of copper through 2022. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk associated with our receivable and payable balances and foreign currency denominated sales. Generally, we enter into master netting arrangements with the counterparties and offset net derivative positions with the same counterparties. Currently, our agreements do not require cash collateral. ASC Topic 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. Derivative instruments’ fair value is determined using significant other observable inputs, or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with ASC Topic 815-10, we designate certain of our commodity swaps as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. For those commodity swaps which are not designated as cash flow hedges, the fair value of the commodity swap is recognized as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and the related gain or loss on the derivative is reported in current earnings. These amounts are classified in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had outstanding copper swap contracts of the following amounts: Units Outstanding (in Pounds) Net Fair Value - Asset (Liability) June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Amounts in millions) Cash flow hedges 77.9 56.5 $ 10.3 $ 4.5 Not designated as hedges 15.9 16.6 2.0 1.7 Total 93.8 73.1 $ 12.3 $ 6.2 As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the outstanding copper swap contracts is recorded in the balance sheet as follows: June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Dollars in millions) Other current assets $ 1.8 $ 2.1 Other assets 10.5 4.1 Asset on balance sheet $ 12.3 $ 6.2 Accumulated other comprehensive gain, net of tax $ 7.8 $ 3.3 Based upon contracts outstanding at June 30, 2020, in the next twelve months we estimate that $1.2 million of unrealized gains, net of tax, related to commodity price hedging will be reclassified from comprehensive income (loss) into earnings See “Note 6 – Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Equity”, for amounts recorded in comprehensive income (loss) and for amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income for the periods specified below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the gain (loss) from contracts not designated as hedges is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Dollars in millions) Gain (loss) from contracts not designated as hedges $ 8.3 $ (1.8 ) $ 0.3 $ 1.3 The fair value associated with forward contracts related to foreign currency that are not designated as hedges are immediately charged to earnings. These amounts are classified in cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts is recorded in the balance sheet as follows: June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Dollars in millions) Other current assets $ 0.6 $ 0.3 Accrued liabilities (0.8 ) (0.5 ) Net liability on balance sheet $ (0.2 ) $ (0.2 ) As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the net currency units outstanding for these contracts were: June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (In millions) British Pounds GBP 2.5 GBP 3.7 New Zealand Dollars NZD 17.0 NZD 16.0 United States Dollars USD 4.6 USD 6.2 Euro EUR 1.2 EUR 1.2 |

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | 18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities We are involved in litigation and various proceedings relating to environmental laws and regulations, product liability and other matters. Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty and should we fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should several of these legal matters be resolved against us in the same reporting period, these legal matters could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements. Legal Proceedings Coal Tar Pitch Cases . Koppers Inc. is one of several defendants in lawsuits filed in two states in which the plaintiffs claim they suffered a variety of illnesses (including cancer) as a result of exposure to coal tar pitch sold by the defendants. There were 64 plaintiffs in 34 cases pending as of June 30, 2020. This is the same number of plaintiffs and cases pending as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, there were 33 cases pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and one case pending in the Circuit Court of Knox County, Tennessee. The plaintiffs in all 34 pending cases seek to recover compensatory damages. Plaintiffs in 29 of those cases also seek to recover punitive damages. The plaintiffs in the 33 cases filed in Pennsylvania seek unspecified damages in excess of the court’s minimum jurisdictional limit. The plaintiff in the Tennessee state court case seeks damages of $15 million. The other defendants in these lawsuits vary from case to case and include companies such as Beazer East, Inc. (“Beazer East”), Honeywell International Inc., Graftech International Holdings, Dow Chemical Company, UCAR Carbon Company, Inc., and SGL Carbon Corporation. Discovery is proceeding in these cases. No trial dates have been set in any of these cases. We have not provided a reserve for the coal tar pitch lawsuits because, at this time, we cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. The timing of resolution of these cases cannot be reasonably determined. Although Koppers Inc. is vigorously defending these cases, an unfavorable resolution of these matters may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Environmental and Other Litigation Matters We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and potential liabilities relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety including, among other things, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the treatment, storage and disposal of wastes, the discharge of effluent into waterways, the emission of substances into the air and various health and safety matters. We expect to incur substantial costs for ongoing compliance with such laws and regulations. We may also face governmental or third-party claims, or otherwise incur costs, relating to cleanup of, or for injuries resulting from, contamination at sites associated with past and present operations. We accrue for environmental liabilities when a determination can be made that a liability is probable and reasonably estimable . Environmental and Other Liabilities Retained or Assumed by Others. We have agreements with former owners of certain of our operating locations under which the former owners retained, assumed and/or agreed to indemnify us against certain environmental and other liabilities. The most significant of these agreements was entered into at Koppers Inc.’s formation on December 29, 1988 (the “Acquisition”). Under the related asset purchase agreement between Koppers Inc. and Beazer East, subject to certain limitations, Beazer East retained the responsibility for and agreed to indemnify Koppers Inc. against certain liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including, with certain limited exceptions, liabilities under and costs to comply with environmental laws to the extent attributable to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Acquisition and liabilities related to products sold by Beazer East prior to the Acquisition (the “Indemnity”). Beazer Limited, the parent company of Beazer East, unconditionally guaranteed Beazer East’s performance of the Indemnity pursuant to a guarantee (the “Guarantee”). The Indemnity provides different mechanisms, subject to certain limitations, by which Beazer East is obligated to indemnify Koppers Inc. with regard to certain environmental, product and other liabilities and imposes certain conditions on Koppers Inc. before receiving such indemnification, including, in some cases, certain limitations regarding the time period as to which claims for indemnification can be brought. In July 2004, Koppers Inc. and Beazer East agreed to amend the environmental indemnification provisions of the December 29, 1988 asset purchase agreement to extend the indemnification period for pre-closing environmental liabilities, subject to the following paragraph, and agreed to share toxic tort litigation defense arising from any sites acquired from Beazer East. Qualified expenditures under the Indemnity are not subject to a monetary limit. Qualified expenditures under the Indemnity include (i) environmental cleanup liabilities required by third parties, such as investigation, remediation and closure costs, relating to pre-December 29, 1988 (“Pre-Closing”) acts or omissions of Beazer East or its predecessors; (ii) environmental claims by third parties for personal injuries, property damages and natural resources damages relating to Pre-Closing acts or omissions of Beazer East or its predecessors; (iii) punitive damages for the acts or omissions of Beazer East and its predecessors without regard to the date of the alleged conduct and (iv) product liability claims for products sold by Beazer East or its predecessors without regard to the date of the alleged conduct. The indemnification period ended July 14, 2019 (the “Claim Deadline”) and Beazer East may now tender certain third-party claims described in sections (i) and (ii) above to Koppers Inc. However, to the extent the third-party claims described in sections (i) and (ii) above were tendered to Beazer East by the Claim Deadline, Beazer East will continue to be required to pay the costs arising from such claims under the Indemnity. Furthermore, the Claim Deadline did not change the provisions of the Indemnity with respect to indemnification for non-environmental claims, such as product liability claims, which claims may continue to be tendered by Koppers Inc. to Beazer East. The Indemnity provides for the resolution of issues between Koppers Inc. and Beazer East by an arbitrator on an expedited basis upon the request of either party. The arbitrator could be asked, among other things, to make a determination regarding the allocation of environmental responsibilities between Koppers Inc. and Beazer East. Arbitration decisions under the Indemnity are final and binding on the parties. Contamination has been identified at most manufacturing and other sites of our subsidiaries. One site currently owned and operated by Koppers Inc. in the United States is listed on the National Priorities List promulgated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”). Currently, at the properties acquired from Beazer East (which includes the National Priorities List site and all but one of the sites permitted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”)), a significant portion of all investigative, cleanup and closure activities are being conducted and paid for by Beazer East pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity. In addition, other of Koppers Inc.’s sites are or have been operated under RCRA and various other environmental permits, and remedial and closure activities are being conducted at some of these sites. To date, the parties that retained, assumed and/or agreed to indemnify us against the liabilities referred to above, including Beazer East, have performed their obligations in all material respects. We believe that, for the last three years ended December 31, 2019, amounts paid by Beazer East as a result of its environmental remediation obligations under the Indemnity have averaged, in total, approximately $10.5 million per year. Periodically, issues have arisen between Koppers Inc. and Beazer East and/or other indemnitors that have been resolved without arbitration. Koppers Inc. and Beazer East engage in discussions from time to time that involve, among other things, the allocation of environmental costs related to certain operating and closed facilities. If for any reason (including disputed coverage or financial incapability) one or more of such parties fail to perform their obligations and we are held liable for or otherwise required to pay all or part of such liabilities without reimbursement, the imposition of such liabilities on us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Furthermore, we could be required to record a contingent liability on our balance sheet with respect to such matters, which could result in a negative impact to our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Domestic Environmental Matters. On June 4, 2018, Koppers Inc. received a letter from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") concerning potential violations of the Clean Water Act observed during inspections and review of Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plans and Facility Response Plans at our facilities in Follansbee, WV; Green Spring, WV; and Clairton, PA. In addition, the EPA reviewed one facility’s compliance with an earlier consent order regarding above ground storage tank integrity testing. In December 2019, the EPA presented Koppers Inc. with a proposed penalty of $ 2.8 million regarding the alleged violations and we are currently in discussions with the EPA to resolve the matter. Accordingly we have accrued our estimated liability of the probable penalty as of June 3 0 , 2020. Koppers Inc. has been named as one of the potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at the Portland Harbor CERCLA site located on the Willamette River in Oregon. Koppers Inc. operated a coal tar pitch terminal near the site. Koppers Inc. has responded to an EPA information request and has executed a PRP agreement which outlines a private process to develop an allocation of past and future costs among more than 80 parties to the site. Koppers Inc. believes it is a de minimis The EPA issued its Record of Decision (“ROD”) in January 2017 for the Portland Harbor CERCLA site. The selected remedy includes a combination of sediment removal, capping, enhanced and monitored natural recovery and riverbank improvements. The ROD does not determine who is responsible for remediation costs. The net present value and undiscounted costs of the selected remedy as estimated in the ROD are approximately $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. Responsibility for implementing and funding that work will be decided in the separate private allocation process which is ongoing. Additionally, Koppers Inc. is involved in two separate natural resource damages assessments at the Portland Harbor site. An assessment is intended to identify damages to natural resources caused by the releases of hazardous substances to the Willamette River and to serve as the foundation to estimate liabilities for settlements of natural resource damages claims or litigation to recover from those who do not settle with the trustee groups. One of the natural resource damage assessments was filed in January 2017 by the Yakama Nation in Oregon federal court. Yakama Nation seeks recovery for future response costs and the costs of assessing injury to natural resources and recovery for past costs of overseeing investigations conducted on the site. Following the most recent court rulings, the Yakama Nation case has been stayed pending completion of the private allocation process for the Portland Harbor CERCLA site . In September 2009, Koppers Inc. received a general notice letter notifying it that it may be a PRP at the Newark Bay CERCLA site. In January 2010, Koppers Inc. submitted a response to the general notice letter asserting that Koppers Inc. is a de minimis We have accrued the estimated costs of participating in the PRP group at the Portland Harbor and Newark Bay CERCLA sites and estimated de minimis There are two plant sites related to the Performance Chemicals business and one plant site related to the Utility and Industrial Products business in the United States where we have recorded environmental remediation liabilities for soil and groundwater contamination which occurred prior to our acquisition of the businesses. As of June 30, 2020, our estimated environmental remediation liability for these acquired sites totals $4.3 million. Foreign Environmental Matters . On October 10, 2019, the New South Wales Environment Protection Authority (“NSW EPA”) filed a proceeding against one of our Australian subsidiaries, Koppers Carbon Materials & Chemicals Pty. Ltd. (“KCMC”), in relation to an incident which occurred at our Mayfield, Australia plant on October 20, 2018. The NSW EPA alleged that KCMC committed an offense under Australian law by failing to maintain its plant and equipment in a proper and efficient working condition. The NSW EPA alleged that KCMC did not properly maintain a valve which failed and released heated coal tar pitch into a bunded area on our site and released fumes into the atmosphere. The first hearing on the proceeding was held on November 22, 2019 in the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales and we entered a guilty plea with respect to the allegations. The maximum fine for the proceeding is $1.0 million AUD (approximately $0.7 million) plus legal costs incurred by the NSW EPA. The Land and Environment Court also has the authority to order KCMC to make certain improvements to its operations at the site of the incident. In May 2020, the NSW EPA brought additional proceedings against KCMC related to a series of May 2019 incidents involving alleged air pollution and odor complaints. The Company agreed to plead guilty to two of the charges and the remaining charges were dropped by the NSW EPA. Both the October 2019 and May 2020 proceedings were procedurally joined and The Land and Environment Court is expected to enter a final order and assess a fine by the end of the year. We have accrued our estimated liability associated with the matters as of June 30, 2020. There is one plant site related to the Performance Chemicals business located in Australia where we have recorded an environmental remediation liability for soil and groundwater contamination which occurred prior to the acquisition of the business. As of June 30, 2020, our estimated environmental remediation liability for this acquired site totals $1.3 million. Environmental Reserves Rollforward. The following table reflects changes in the accrued liability for environmental matters, of which $2.7 million and $2.8 million are classified as current liabilities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively: Period ended June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 (Dollars in millions) Balance at beginning of year $ 9.5 $ 10.1 Expense 0.1 0.5 Reversal of reserves 0.0 (0.8 ) Cash expenditures (0.2 ) (0.3 ) Currency translation (0.1 ) 0.0 Balance at end of period $ 9.3 $ 9.5 |

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 is meant to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to facilitate consistent application. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on our financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which amends ASC 715-20, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on our financial statements . |
