Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION As reported in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's products and operations were managed and reported in five operating segments: Additives & Functional Products ("AFP"), Adhesives & Plasticizers ("A&P"), Advanced Materials ("AM"), Fibers, and Specialty Fluids & Intermediates ("SFI"). Beginning first quarter 2016, as a result of changes in the Company's organizational structure and management, the Company's products and operations are managed and reported in four operating segments: AFP, AM, Chemical Intermediates ("CI"), and Fibers. The new structure supports the Company's strategy to transform towards a specialty portfolio by better aligning similar businesses in a more streamlined structure. Under the new structure, the adhesives resins product line of the former A&P segment is moved to the AFP segment, the specialty fluids product line of the former SFI segment is moved to the AFP segment, and the plasticizers product line of the former A&P segment is moved to the new CI segment. In addition to the product line changes, there were shifts in products among product lines in different segments. Acetyl and olefin products with animal nutrition and food ingredient applications of the former SFI segment are moved to the AFP segment as part of the care chemicals and animal nutrition product lines. Distribution solvents, ethylene oxide derivatives, and ethyl acetate products are moved from the AFP segment to the new CI segment in the other intermediates product line. For additional financial and product information concerning each segment, see Note 20, "Segment Information", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
