Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and also requires the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. In addition, it requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue [Policy Text Block] Revenue Recognition—The Company follows the principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue, net of estimated allowances and returns, is recognized when the Company has completed its performance obligations under a contract and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Substantially all revenue is recognized at the time shipment is made or upon delivery as risk and title to the product transfer to the customer. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Contract terms for certain transactions, including sales made on a consignment basis, result in the transfer of control of the finished product to the customer prior to the point at which the Company has the right to invoice for the product. In these cases, timing of revenue recognition will differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and will result in the Company recording a contract asset. A contract asset balance of $6 is recorded within “Other current assets” at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 12 for additional discussion of the Company’s net sales by reportable segment disaggregated by geographic region.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] Cash and Cash Equivalents— The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash balance of $3 and $4 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, represents deposits to secure certain bank guarantees issued to third parties to guarantee potential obligations of the Company primarily related to the completion of tax audits and environmental liabilities. These balances will remain restricted as long as the underlying exposures exist and are included in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Cash and cash equivalents.”
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts— Under adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company has updated its credit loss methodology to consider a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine its credit loss estimates. The Company utilizes a historical aging method disaggregated by portfolio segment of geographic region, and then the Company makes any necessary adjustments for current conditions and forecasts about future economic conditions for calculating its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates each pooled receivables’ geographic region by differing regional industrial and economic conditions, overall end market conditions and groups of customers with similar risk profiles related to timing and uncertainty of future collections. If particular accounts receivable balances no longer display risk characteristics that are similar to other pooled receivables, the Company performs individual assessments of expected credit losses for those specific receivables. Receivables are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company increased its allowance for doubtful accounts provision for expected credit losses by less than $1, to reflect current business conditions, forecasts of future economic conditions and the impacts related to the global business and market disruptions of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic in accordance with ASU 2016-13 (see Note 3 for more information). The Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the economy and other future events and conditions are based on currently available financial, economic and competitive data and current business plans as of September 30, 2020. Actual results could vary materially depending on risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s operations, markets, services, prices and other factors.
The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3 at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, to reduce accounts receivable to their estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. There were no write-offs or recoveries for the Successor three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy
Goodwill— Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment of value or more frequently when potential impairment triggering events are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is October 1. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and environmental factors, which included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the signing of the Purchase Agreement for the Held for Sale Business in September 2020. The Company determined there was no triggering event requiring an interim impairment analysis at September 30, 2020. However, the continued duration and severity of COVID-19 may result in future impairment charges as a prolonged pandemic could have an additional impact on the results of the Company’s operations.
Reclassifications— Certain amounts in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications were to record the assets and liabilities of the Held for Sale Business and the results of operations as discontinued operations. See Note 4 for more information.
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block] Subsequent Events—The Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to September 30, 2020 through the date of issuance of its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 820): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, (“ASU 2016-13”). The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. New disclosures are also required with this standard. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This standard impacts the Company’s accounts receivables and contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 at January 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective adoption method. Under this method of adoption, there is no impact to the comparative Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was an immaterial impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on the date of adoption.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively on January 1, 2020 and the adoption had an immaterial impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 will provide optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has adopted ASU 2020-04 and the initial adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 will simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in income tax accounting and improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of income tax accounting by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact ASU 2019-12 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14: Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU 2018-14”). ASU 2018-14 modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2018-14 on its financial statements.
