Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets primarily consist of customer lists and know-how and technology, which have definite lives and are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives generally between 7 and 15 years, as well as trade names which have both indefinite and definite lives which are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives of 15 years. Amortization expense for other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $85.9, $86.0 and $37.6, respectively. There were no material impairment charges on other intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
