Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segmental Information Segmental Information
We classify our operations into two core business segments, Gas Cylinders and Elektron, based primarily on shared economic characteristics for the nature of the products and services; the nature of the production processes; the type or class of customer for their products and services; the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has five identified business units, which aggregate into the two reportable segments. Luxfer Gas Cylinders and Luxfer Superform aggregate into the Gas Cylinders segment, and Luxfer MEL Technologies, Luxfer Magtech and Luxfer Graphic Arts aggregate into the Elektron segment. In the first two quarters of 2019, prior to its divestiture, Luxfer Czech Republic also aggregated into the Elektron Segment. A summary of the operations of the segments is provided below:
Gas Cylinders segment
Our Gas Cylinders segment manufactures and markets specialized products using aluminum, titanium and carbon composites, including pressurized cylinders for use in various applications including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for firefighters, containment of oxygen and other medical gases for healthcare, alternative fuel vehicles, and general industrial. The segment also forms lightweight aluminum and titanium panels into highly complex shapes that are used mainly in the transportation industry.
Elektron segment            Our Elektron segment focuses on specialty materials based primarily on magnesium and zirconium, with key product lines including advanced lightweight magnesium alloys with a variety of uses across a variety of industries; magnesium powders for use in countermeasure flares, as well as heater meals; photoengraving plates for graphic arts; and high-performance zirconium-based materials and oxides used as catalysts and in the manufacture of advanced ceramics, fiber-optic fuel cells, and many other performance products.
Other
Other primarily represents unallocated corporate expense and includes non-service related defined benefit pension cost / credit.
Management monitors the operating results of its reportable segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments as the CEO, using adjusted EBITA2 and adjusted EBITDA, which we defined as segment income and are based on operating income adjusted for share based compensation charges; loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, restructuring charges; impairment charges; acquisition and disposal related gains and costs; other charges; depreciation and amortization; and unwind of discount on deferred consideration.
Unallocated assets and liabilities include those which are held on behalf of the Company and cannot be allocated to a segment, such as taxation, investments, cash, retirement benefits obligations, bank and other loans and holding company assets and liabilities.
Financial information by reportable segment for the Second Quarter and year-to-date ended June 28, 2020, and June 30, 2019, is included in the following summary:
