Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	Related Party Transactions Administrative Service, Management and Consulting Arrangement The Company is subject to a Management Consulting Agreement with Apollo (the “Management Consulting Agreement”) that renews on an annual basis, unless notice to the contrary is given by either party. Under the Management Consulting Agreement, the Company receives certain structuring and advisory services from Apollo and its affiliates. The Management Consulting Agreement provides indemnification to Apollo, its affiliates and their directors, officers and representatives for potential losses arising from these services. Apollo is entitled to an annual fee equal to the greater of $3 or 2% of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA. Apollo elected to waive charges of any portion of the annual management fee due in excess of $3 for the calendar year 2015. During both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized expense under the Management Consulting Agreement of $1. This amount is included in “Other operating expense, net” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Transactions with MPM Shared Services Agreement On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into a shared services agreement with Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (“MPM”) (which, from October 1, 2010 through October 24, 2014, was a subsidiary of Hexion Holdings) (the “Shared Services Agreement”). Under this agreement, the Company provides to MPM, and MPM provides to the Company, certain services, including, but not limited to, executive and senior management, administrative support, human resources, information technology support, accounting, finance, technology development, legal and procurement services. The Shared Services Agreement establishes certain criteria upon which the costs of such services are allocated between the Company and MPM. The Shared Services Agreement is subject to termination by either the Company or MPM, without cause, on not less than 30 days’ written notice, and expires in October 2015 (subject to one-year renewals every year thereafter; absent contrary notice from either party). On April 13, 2014, Momentive Performance Materials Holdings Inc. (MPM’s direct parent company at such date), MPM and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On October 24, 2014, in conjunction with MPM’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the consummation of MPM’s plan of reorganization, the Shared Services Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) exclude the services of certain executive officers, (ii) provide for a transition assistance period at the election of the recipient following termination of the Shared Services Agreement of up to 12 months, subject to one successive renewal period of an additional 60 days and (iii) provide for the use of an independent third-party firm to assist the Shared Services Steering Committee with its annual review of billings and allocations. Additionally, upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, MPM paid all previously unpaid amounts to the Company related to the Shared Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred approximately $31 and $33, respectively, of net costs for shared services and MPM incurred approximately $25 of net costs for shared services. Included in the net costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, were net billings from the Company to MPM of $17 and $9, respectively, to bring the percentage of total net incurred costs for shared services under the Shared Services Agreement to the applicable allocation percentage. The allocation percentages are reviewed by the Steering Committee pursuant to the terms of the Shared Services Agreement. The Company had accounts receivable from MPM of $6 and $9 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and no accounts payable to MPM. Sales and Purchases of Products and Services with MPM The Company also sells products to, and purchases products from, MPM pursuant to a Master Buy/Sell Agreement dated as of September 6, 2012 (the “Master Buy/Sell Agreement”). The standard terms and conditions of the seller in the applicable jurisdiction apply to transactions under the Master Buy/Sell Agreement. The Master Buy/Sell Agreement has an initial term of three years and may be terminated for convenience by either party thereunder upon 30 days' prior notice. Additionally, a subsidiary of MPM has acted as a non-exclusive distributor in India for certain of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to Distribution Agreements dated as of September 6, 2012 (the “Distribution Agreements”). The Distribution Agreements had initial terms of three years and were terminated by mutual agreement on March 9, 2015. Pursuant to these agreements and other purchase orders, during both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold less than $1 of products to MPM and purchased $2 of products from MPM. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had less than $1 of accounts receivable from MPM and less than $1 and $1, respectively, of accounts payable to MPM related to these agreements. Other Transactions with MPM In March 2014, the Company entered into a ground lease with a Brazilian subsidiary of MPM to lease a portion of MPM’s manufacturing site in Itatiba, Brazil for purposes of constructing and operating an epoxy production facility. In conjunction with the ground lease, the Company entered into a site services agreement whereby MPM’s subsidiary provides to the Company various services such as environmental, health and safety, security, maintenance and accounting, among others, to support the operation of this new facility. The Company paid less than $1 to MPM under this agreement during both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. In April 2014, the Company purchased 100% of the interests in MPM’s Canadian subsidiary for a purchase price of approximately $12. As a part of the transaction the Company also entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a subsidiary of MPM, whereby the Company acts as a distributor of certain MPM products in Canada. The agreement has a term of 10 years, and is cancelable by either party with 180 days’ notice. The Company is compensated for acting as distributor at a rate of 2% of the net selling price of the related products sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company purchased approximately $7 of products from MPM under this distribution agreement, and earned less than $1 from MPM as compensation for acting as distributor of the products. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $3 and $2, respectively, of accounts payable to MPM related to the distribution agreement. Purchases and Sales of Products and Services with Affiliates Other than MPM The Company sells products to various Apollo affiliates other than MPM. These sales were $35 and $46 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accounts receivable from these affiliates were $10 and $26 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company also purchases raw materials and services from various Apollo affiliates other than MPM. These purchases were $13 and $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had accounts payable to these affiliates of $12 and $26 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Other Transactions and Arrangements The Company sells finished goods to, and purchases raw materials from, a foundry joint venture between the Company and HA-USA Inc. (“HAI”). The Company also provides toll-manufacturing and other services to HAI. The Company’s investment in HAI is recorded under the equity method of accounting, and the related sales and purchases are not eliminated from the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any profit on these transactions is eliminated in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the extent of the Company’s 50% interest in HAI. Sales and services provided to HAI were $21 and $27 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accounts receivable from HAI were $8 at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Purchases from HAI were $5 and $7 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company had accounts payable to HAI of $2 at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Additionally, HAI declared dividends to the Company of $4 and $3 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No amounts remained outstanding related to these previously declared dividends at March 31, 2015. The Company’s purchase contracts with HAI represent a significant portion of HAI’s total revenue, and this factor results in the Company absorbing the majority of the risk from potential losses or the majority of the gains from potential returns. However, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact HAI, and therefore, does not consolidate HAI. In 2013, the Company and HAI resolved a dispute regarding raw material pricing. As part of the resolution, the Company will provide discounts to HAI on future purchases of dry and liquid resins totaling $16 over a period of three years. During both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued $1 of discounts to HAI under this agreement. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $5 and $7, respectively, remained outstanding under this agreement. As of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $5 of the outstanding amount was classified in “Other current liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the remaining amount included in “Other long-term liabilities.” The Company had a loan receivable from its unconsolidated forest products joint venture in Russia of $6 as of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. As of both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $11 of cash on deposit as collateral for a loan that was extended by a third party to one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, which is classified as restricted cash.
