Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements | Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , as filed with the SEC. New or Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. The update improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The update was issued to reduce diversity in practice regarding the presentation of eight specific types of cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The update simplifies several areas of accounting for share based payments. The guidance also includes the acceptable or required transition methods for each of the various amendments included in the new standard. It became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2017 and prospectively applied the guidance. The Company recorded $2.3 million in tax expense during the first quarter of 2017 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The update requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from finance and operating leases and to classify those finance and operating lease payments in the financing or operating sections, respectively, of the statement of cash flows. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . The update requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. It became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2017 and retrospectively applied the guidance. There was not a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the inventory valuation practices already approximated the lower of cost or net realizable value. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as amended and/or clarified by ASU Nos. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, and 2016-20, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. This standard will supersede virtually all current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard (and subsequent amendments) will be effective for the Company’s first quarter 2018 Form 10-Q filing. In preparation for the 2018 adoption date, management is in the process of evaluating the standard’s overall impact on the Company’s revenue recognition process and the resulting adoption impact. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized as control is transferred to the customer either at a point in time or over time. The assessment of whether control transfers over time or at a point in time is critical to determining when to recognize revenue. Management is evaluating whether its contracts satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition over time for customized goods. If the Company determines the over time criteria is satisfied, revenue recognition will be accelerated for cellulose specialties and commodity products contracts. If management determines the over time criteria for revenue recognition is not met, the Company will recognize revenue at a point in time. If a point in time revenue recognition determination is made, the Company expects revenue recognition to remain substantially consistent with current practice. The Company expects to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis and is currently in the process of assessing changes required to its business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and related financial statement disclosures under the new standard. Subsequent Events Events and transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through May 3, 2017 , the date these financial statements were available to be issued. One subsequent event warranting disclosure was identified. On March 24, 2017, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $2.00 per share of our mandatory convertible preferred stock, which will be paid on May 15, 2017 to mandatory convertible preferred stockholders of record as of May 1, 2017. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The following table presents the carrying amount, estimated fair values and categorization under the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments held by the Company at March 25, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , using market information and what management believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies: March 25, 2017 December 31, 2016 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Asset (liability) (a) Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents $ 345,108 $ 345,108 $ — $ 326,455 $ 326,455 $ — Current maturities of long-term debt (10,025 ) — (10,463 ) (9,327 ) — (9,775 ) Fixed-rate long-term debt (499,676 ) — (463,367 ) (499,444 ) — (474,761 ) Variable-rate long-term debt (268,153 ) — (269,188 ) (270,836 ) — (271,975 ) (a) Table excludes the Company’s capital lease obligation. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed-rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable-rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. |

Liabilities for Disposed Operations | Liabilities for Disposed Operations An analysis of the liabilities for disposed operations for the three months ended March 25, 2017 is as follows: Balance, December 31, 2016 $ 152,910 Expenditures charged to liabilities (562 ) Increase to liabilities 475 Balance, March 25, 2017 152,823 Less: Current portion (15,305 ) Non-current portion $ 137,518 In addition to the estimated liabilities, the Company is subject to the risk of reasonably possible additional liabilities in excess of the established reserves due to potential changes in circumstances and future events, including, without limitation, changes to current laws and regulations; changes in governmental agency personnel, direction, philosophy and/or enforcement policies; developments in remediation technologies; increases in the cost of remediation, operation, maintenance and monitoring of its disposed operations sites; changes in the volume, nature or extent of contamination to be remediated or monitoring to be undertaken; the outcome of negotiations with governmental agencies and non-governmental parties; and changes in accounting rules or interpretations. Based on information available as of March 25, 2017 , the Company estimates this exposure could range up to approximately $64 million , although no assurances can be given that this amount will not be exceeded given the factors described above. These potential additional costs are attributable to several sites and other applicable liabilities. Further, this estimate excludes reasonably possible liabilities which are not currently estimable primarily due to the factors discussed above. Subject to the previous paragraph, the Company believes established liabilities are sufficient for probable costs expected to be incurred over the next 20 years with respect to its disposed operations. However, no assurances are given they will be sufficient for the reasons described above, and additional liabilities could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |

Both the qualified plan and the unfunded excess plan are closed to new participants. Employee benefit plan liabilities are calculated using actuarial estimates and management assumptions. These estimates are based on historical information, along with certain assumptions about future events. Beginning in 2017, the Company changed the method used to determine the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost. Previously, the cost was determined using a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve. Under the new method, known as the spot rate approach, individual spot rates along the yield curve that correspond with the timing of each benefit payment was used. The Company believes this change provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash outflows and corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. The Company estimates the adoption of the spot rate approach will decrease pension and postretirement cost by approximately $3.0 million as compared to using the single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve for the full year 2017. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause the estimates to change. The net pension and postretirement benefit costs that have been recorded are shown in the following tables: Pension Postretirement Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost March 25, 2017 March 26, 2016 March 25, 2017 March 26, 2016 Service cost $ 1,184 $ 1,306 $ 236 $ 202 Interest cost 3,318 3,979 198 218 Expected return on plan assets (5,548 ) (5,830 ) — — Amortization of prior service cost 190 190 — 3 Amortization of losses 2,913 2,836 83 28 Amortization of negative plan amendment — — (38 ) (38 ) Total net periodic benefit cost $ 2,057 $ 2,481 $ 479 $ 413 The Company does not have any mandatory pension contribution requirements in 2017 . |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , as filed with the SEC. |
New or Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. The update improves the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . The update was issued to reduce diversity in practice regarding the presentation of eight specific types of cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The update simplifies several areas of accounting for share based payments. The guidance also includes the acceptable or required transition methods for each of the various amendments included in the new standard. It became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2017 and prospectively applied the guidance. The Company recorded $2.3 million in tax expense during the first quarter of 2017 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The update requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from finance and operating leases and to classify those finance and operating lease payments in the financing or operating sections, respectively, of the statement of cash flows. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . The update requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. It became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted as of January 1, 2017 and retrospectively applied the guidance. There was not a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the inventory valuation practices already approximated the lower of cost or net realizable value. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as amended and/or clarified by ASU Nos. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, and 2016-20, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. This standard will supersede virtually all current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard (and subsequent amendments) will be effective for the Company’s first quarter 2018 Form 10-Q filing. In preparation for the 2018 adoption date, management is in the process of evaluating the standard’s overall impact on the Company’s revenue recognition process and the resulting adoption impact. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized as control is transferred to the customer either at a point in time or over time. The assessment of whether control transfers over time or at a point in time is critical to determining when to recognize revenue. Management is evaluating whether its contracts satisfy the criteria for revenue recognition over time for customized goods. If the Company determines the over time criteria is satisfied, revenue recognition will be accelerated for cellulose specialties and commodity products contracts. If management determines the over time criteria for revenue recognition is not met, the Company will recognize revenue at a point in time. If a point in time revenue recognition determination is made, the Company expects revenue recognition to remain substantially consistent with current practice. The Company expects to adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis and is currently in the process of assessing changes required to its business processes, systems and controls to support revenue recognition and related financial statement disclosures under the new standard. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amount is equal to fair market value. Debt — The fair value of fixed-rate debt is based upon quoted market prices for debt with similar terms and maturities. The variable-rate debt adjusts with changes in the market rate, therefore the carrying value approximates fair value. |
