Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	The effective income tax rate was 31 percent for the quarter, up from 28 percent last year due to post-tax dividends that reduced the rate in the third quarter of 2014. The year-to-date effective income tax rate of 27 percent decreased 2 percentage points compared to last year. A change in the Company's assertion with respect to reinvestment of foreign earnings decreased deferred income taxes related to undistributed foreign earnings by $7 million and reduced the year-to-date effective tax rate compared to last year. Higher post-tax dividend income and an additional non-recurring tax benefit of $2 million further reduced the year-to-date effective tax rate. Those reductions were partially offset by the tax rate effects of the gain on the sale of the Liquid Finishing assets.
