Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and require that revenue be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2018. For disclosures related to the adoption of this guidance, see Note 3. In August 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU made eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company continues the evaluation of the potential effects on its financial position or results of operations of the accounting pronouncements disclosed in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on December 6, 2018 |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Revenue On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue standard and there were no adjustments recorded in connection with the adoption. The Company generally disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by its operating segments. Reportable segmentation reflects how the Company reviews the financial performance of its operations. The Company also disaggregates revenues by geography and for its Chemicals and Plastics operating segments, by product type. Disaggregation by geography and product type provides information relevant to understanding underlying economic and regional trends. The following table disaggregates external customer net sales by geography: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 Chemicals Plastics Other Consolidated U.S. $ 393.4 $ 262.4 $ 41.0 $ 696.8 Canada 23.0 21.9 0.2 45.1 Other North America 17.5 12.3 — 29.8 EMEA — 120.0 — 120.0 Asia 4.6 39.5 — 44.1 Total external customer net sales $ 438.5 $ 456.1 $ 41.2 $ 935.8 The following table disaggregates external customer net sales by specialties, non-specialties and environmental services: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 Chemicals Plastics Other Consolidated Specialty $ 136.5 $ 218.9 $ — $ 355.4 Non-Specialty 302.0 237.2 — 539.2 Environmental Services — — 41.2 41.2 Total external customer net sales $ 438.5 $ 456.1 $ 41.2 $ 935.8 Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which generally occurs when goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Payment terms and conditions may vary by regions where the Company operates; however, the term between invoicing and when payment is due is less than one year. As of December 31, 2018 , none of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component. The Company is generally the primary obligor in sales transactions with its customers and recognizes revenue primarily based on the gross amount billed to the customer. In sales transactions where the Company is not the primary obligor, it recognizes revenue on a net basis by recognizing only the commission retained from such sales and including that commission in sales and operating revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Consistent with industry standards, the Company may offer volume-based rebates to large customers if the customer purchases a specified volume with the Company over a specified time period. The Company utilizes its experience and access to relevant information to reasonably estimate the amounts of such deductions from gross revenues and regularly reviews the estimates and adjusts accordingly if and when actual experience differs from estimates. Sales are reported net of tax assessed by governmental authorities. Shipping and handling activities are considered fulfillment costs, and the related amounts billed to customers are included in revenues. Specialty The Company classifies the products it sells as specialty products when the products have specified applications, are not easily duplicated and innovation is the main catalyst for product change. These products present higher costs to customers to make a change, have longer sales cycles and may include value added services that are critical to customer purchasing decisions. Non-Specialty Products which are not specifically classified as specialty products by the Company are classified as non-specialty products. Typically, attributes of non-specialty products include ease of product change, shorter sales cycles and increased market availability of substitute products. With some exceptions in the Plastics line of business, these attributes generally cause customers of non-specialty products to be more price sensitive. Environmental Services The Company generates revenue from environmental services as they are performed and the underlying economic value is transferred to customers. The Company’s environmental services provided to customers are related to waste management services, including on-site services on customer premises and offsite. These services include the collection, recycling and arrangement for disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste products. Costs to Obtain or Fulfill Contracts with Customers The Company does not incur significant costs to obtain contracts and therefore none have been capitalized. Deferred Revenue |

Acquisitions | Acquisitions Merger Agreement with Univar On September 17, 2018, Nexeo and Univar entered into the Univar Merger Agreement providing for the acquisition of Nexeo by Univar. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Univar Merger Agreement, holders of Nexeo’s common stock will receive (A) the Cash Consideration, described below, and (B) 0.305 of a share of Univar common stock (referred to as the "Stock Consideration"). The “Cash Consideration” will be $3.29 per share, subject to reduction by up to $0.41 per share based on the closing price of Univar common stock on the day prior to the closing of the proposed transaction. The Cash Consideration will be reduced on a linear basis between $3.29 per share and $2.88 per share to the extent that the closing price of Univar common stock is between $25.34 and $22.18 . If the closing price of Univar common stock is $22.18 per share or lower, the Cash Consideration will be $2.88 per share. If the closing price of Univar common stock on is $25.34 per share or higher, the Cash Consideration will be $3.29 per share. The Univar Merger Agreement and the proposed transaction were approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of both Nexeo and Univar and are subject to review by the SEC and regulatory agencies in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. The Univar Merger Agreement is also subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things and as further described in the Univar Merger Agreement: (i) the adoption by Nexeo’s stockholders of the Univar Merger Agreement, (ii) the approval by Univar’s stockholders of the issuance of the shares of Univar common stock in connection with the proposed transaction contemplated by the Univar Merger Agreement, (iii) the receipt of other required regulatory approvals, (iv) the absence of any law or governmental order prohibiting the proposed transaction, (v) the effectiveness of Univar's registration statement (which occurred on January 29, 2019) and the approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Univar common stock in connection with the proposed transaction contemplated by the Univar Merger Agreement, (vi) no material adverse effect on Nexeo's and Univar's operations having occurred since the signing of the Univar Merger Agreement and (vii) the termination of the TRA. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction will be satisfied or waived or that the proposed transaction will be completed. On November 16, 2018, Univar and Nexeo announced that the waiting period under the HSR Act expired. Additional required filings have been made with other regulatory agencies in certain foreign jurisdictions and the process is ongoing. The Univar Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of Univar and Nexeo, and also contains customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants, among others, by each of Univar and Nexeo to operate its respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent during the period prior to closing. The proposed transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019. Transaction costs incurred by the Company associated with the Univar Merger Agreement were $8.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018 . Asset Acquisitions In December 2016, the Company acquired customer contracts and a customer list. Additionally, in connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a supply agreement and a licensing agreement granting the Company the non-exclusive use of a certain trademark. The total consideration associated with this transaction was $8.5 million , of which $5.1 million was paid at closing and $1.7 million was paid in January 2018 and December 2018. The Company recognized intangible assets totaling $8.5 million in December 2016 which are included in Other intangible assets, net of amortization on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The acquired intangible assets will be fully amortized over estimated useful lives ranging between 10 and 13 years |

Certain Balance Sheet Information [Abstract] | |
Certain Balance Sheet Information | Certain Balance Sheet Information Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents were $54.6 million as of December 31, 2018 and $58.9 million as of September 30, 2018 . These amounts included the following: December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Cash held by foreign subsidiaries $ 45.7 $ 52.9 Non-USD denominated currency held by foreign subsidiaries $ 44.3 $ 48.8 Currency denominated in RMB $ 3.5 $ 6.5 Non-USD denominated currency held by foreign subsidiaries was primarily in euros and CAD . While the RMB is convertible into USD, foreign exchange transactions are subject to approvals from SAFE. The Company does not anticipate any significant adverse impact to overall liquidity from potential limitations on the transfer or conversion of cash and cash equivalents . Inventories Inventories at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 consisted of the following: December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Finished products $ 355.6 $ 334.0 Supplies 4.9 4.8 Total $ 360.5 $ 338.8 The Company’s inventories in the U.S. and Canada are collateral under the Credit Facilities. Other Non-Current Assets Other non-current assets at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 consisted of the following: December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Debt issuance costs of the ABL Facility $ 3.5 $ 3.8 Deposits 2.0 2.5 Interest rate swap (1) 1.8 8.0 Other 1.7 1.9 Total $ 9.0 $ 16.2 (1) See Note 9 for additional information. Amortization of debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 . Due to Related Party Pursuant to Contingent Consideration Obligations Contingent Consideration - Deferred Cash Consideration The contingent consideration associated with the Deferred Cash Consideration will be an amount in cash equal to the prevailing price of the Company’s common stock at the time that the Company pays such deferred cash payment multiplied by the number of Excess Shares ( 5,178,642 Excess Shares as of December 31, 2018 ). Based on the terms of the Excess Shares, certain circumstances require the Company to pay all or a portion of the Deferred Cash Consideration to the Selling Equityholders, where such cash amount is calculated as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (i) where the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock for any period of 20 trading days in any 30 trading day period exceeds $ 15.00 per share, and (ii) if any Excess Shares remain on June 30, 2021. If any Excess Shares remain on June 30, 2021, the Company must elect to either (i) within five business days of such date, pay the Selling Equityholders an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of remaining Excess Shares multiplied by the volume weighted-average trading price for the 20 trading day period immediately preceding such date or (ii) use reasonable best efforts to sell such shares to a third party in a primary offering and pay the gross proceeds thereof (less any underwriting discounts and commissions) to the Selling Equityholders. However, to the extent the number of shares issued in such offerings does not equal the full amount of Excess Shares remaining at the time of the offering, the Company’s obligations with respect to any remaining Excess Shares, including the obligation to continue to complete any necessary additional offerings, shall continue. In order to estimate the fair value of the Deferred Cash Consideration, the Company estimates the value of the Excess Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The estimated fair value of the Deferred Cash Consideration liability was $43.5 million and $62.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. See Note 10. Upon consummation of the Univar Merger Agreement, the obligation to pay the Deferred Cash Consideration will be accelerated. The Deferred Cash Consideration will be calculated as an amount in cash equal to the Excess Shares multiplied by an amount equal to the Cash Consideration plus the implied value of the Stock Consideration based on the closing trading price of Univar's common stock on the day prior to the completion of the proposed transaction. Contingent Consideration - TRA Concurrent with the completion of the Business Combination, the Company incurred the liability for contingent consideration related to the TRA, which reflects amounts owed to the Selling Equityholders. This liability generally provides for the payment by the Company to the Selling Equityholders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income taxes that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing Date as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis resulting from the Company Merger, (ii) certain tax attributes of Holdings existing prior to the Mergers, (iii) net operating losses and certain other tax attributes of Blocker available to the Company as a result of the Blocker Merger and (iv) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments the Company makes under the TRA. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of the net cash savings, if any. The Company estimated the fair value of the TRA liability based on a discounted cash flow model which incorporates assumptions of projected taxable income, projected income tax liabilities and an estimate of tax benefits expected to be realized as a result of the Business Combination. The current undiscounted cash flows associated with the TRA liability were estimated to be approximately $125.8 million over the time period during which the tax benefits are expected to be realized, currently estimated at over 20 years . The estimated fair value of the TRA liability is $71.1 million and $74.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. See Note 10. The amount and timing of any payments due under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income the Company generates in the future and the U.S. federal, state and local income tax rates then applicable. In addition, payments made under the TRA will give rise to additional tax benefits for the Company and therefore additional potential payments due under the TRA. The term of the TRA commenced upon the consummation of the Mergers and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the TRA have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA early. If the Company elects to terminate the TRA early, its obligations under the TRA would accelerate and it generally would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by it under the TRA, calculated in accordance with certain valuation assumptions set forth in the TRA. In connection with the Univar Merger Agreement, Nexeo and the TRA Holders entered into a TRA Termination Agreement under which the parties agreed to terminate the TRA, upon consummation of the proposed transaction. Upon termination of the TRA, a cash payment to the TRA Holders will be made in an amount equal to $60.0 million . In the event the Univar Merger Agreement is terminated, the TRA Termination Agreement will no longer be in force. The liabilities related to the Deferred Cash Consideration and the TRA are included in Due to related party pursuant to contingent consideration obligations |

Goodwill and Other Intangibles | Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill The following is a progression of goodwill by reportable segment: Chemicals Plastics Other Total Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 362.4 $ 274.0 $ 63.5 $ 699.9 Foreign currency translation (0.5 ) (1.8 ) — (2.3 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 361.9 $ 272.2 $ 63.5 $ 697.6 Goodwill Impairment Test Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of March 31 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level, or operating segment, for the Company. The Company performed an impairment test as of March 31, 2018 and concluded that goodwill was no t impaired. For purposes of the impairment testing of the Company's recognized goodwill, fair value measurements are determined using the income approach, based largely on inputs that are not observable to active markets, which would be deemed Level 3 fair value measurements as defined in Note 10. The evaluation of goodwill requires the use of estimates about future operating results of each reporting unit to determine its estimated fair value. Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations. The estimate of fair value requires significant judgment and is based on management’s fair value estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including: estimates of future growth rates, operating margins and assumptions about the overall economic climate as well as the competitive environment for the reporting units. There can be no assurance that these estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill testing as of the time of testing will prove to be accurate. If assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments or anticipated growth rates are not correct, the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with future annual impairment testing, or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to the next annual evaluation.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 3 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: • Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3—Prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable for objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Fair value of financial instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. The carrying values of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facilities approximate fair value at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , primarily due to their variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of these instruments is classified by the Company as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy due to the varying interest rate parameters as outlined in the respective loan agreements. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis In addition to the financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges or as part of a business combination. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Contingent Consideration The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Deferred Cash Consideration as discussed in Note 5 was $43.5 million and $62.7 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. The decrease in the liability was largely driven by the decrease in the Company’s stock price. The measurement of the contingent consideration related to the Deferred Cash Consideration is classified by the Company as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. In order to estimate the fair value of the Deferred Cash Consideration, the Company estimates the value of the Excess Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the market price of the Company’s common stock at each valuation date being a significant input to this model. Unobservable inputs to the valuation are the expected volatility during the applicable period as well as a marketability discount to reflect the illiquidity of the Excess Shares given their terms. An increase in the market price of the Company’s common stock has the same directional effect on the value of the liability related to the Deferred Cash Consideration. An increase in the volatility and marketability discount will lower the value of the liability related to the Deferred Cash Consideration. The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to the TRA as discussed in Note 5 was $71.1 million and $74.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. The liability for the contingent consideration related to the TRA is classified by the Company as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to the TRA based on a discounted cash flow model which incorporates assumptions of projected taxable income, projected income tax liabilities and an estimate of tax benefits expected to be realized as a result of the Business Combination. Key inputs to the valuation are prevailing tax rates and market interest rates impacting the discount rate. A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate compared to the discount rate used at the December 31, 2018 valuation would have resulted in a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in the value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to the TRA. Additionally, this cash flow model is sensitive to changes in prevailing tax rates. A 100 basis point increase in the tax rate compared to the tax rate used at the December 31, 2018 valuation would have resulted in an increase of approximately $2.4 million in the value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to the TRA. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations for the three months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows: TRA Deferred Cash Consideration Total Fair Value Contingent consideration as of September 30, 2018 $ 74.8 $ 62.7 $ 137.5 Change in fair value of contingent consideration (1) (3.7 ) (19.2 ) (22.9 ) Contingent consideration as of December 31, 2018 $ 71.1 $ 43.5 $ 114.6 (1) Included in Operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Significant changes in the estimates and inputs used in determining the fair value of the contingent consideration could have a material impact on the amounts recognized as a component of Operating income in future periods. Interest Rate Swaps The Company classifies interest rate swaps within Level 2. The Company is a party to interest rate swap agreements of varying expiration dates ranging from February 2020 through February 2023, to help mitigate interest rate risk related to the variable rate Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2018 , the notional amount of the seven outstanding interest rate swap agreements was $599.1 million . At December 31, 2018 , the Company recorded $2.1 million in Other current assets, $1.8 million in Other non-current assets, less than $0.1 million in Accrued expenses and other liabilities and $1.2 million in Other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these instruments.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans | Share-based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans On June 8, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2016 LTIP, with an effective date of March 30, 2016, covering approximately a ten -year period. No awards may be granted under the 2016 LTIP after March 20, 2026. The 2016 LTIP permits the grant of up to 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for various types of awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries, including incentive and non-incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, stock awards, conversion awards and performance awards. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 193,667 PSUs to employees under the 2016 LTIP. These awards will vest on September 30, 2020, entitling the recipient to receive a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the Company’s achievement of the performance goals included in the PSUs, which are based on a return on invested capital calculation over a three -year performance period. Depending on the calculation as of the vesting date, a recipient is entitled to receive between 0% and 200% of the initial award. The awards are accounted for as equity instruments, and the fair value of these awards was determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company granted 212,000 and 1,557,500 PSU awards to employees, respectively, under the 2016 LTIP. The recipient can receive between 0% and 200% of the initial award, based on the Company’s total stockholder return during approximate three -year performance period, or a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target if a specified total stockholder return is not met. These awards are accounted for as equity instruments. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the PSU awards at the grant date, factoring in the market-based vesting condition and considering the probability of satisfying the various performance criteria. The resulting grant date fair value is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis from the grant date through the end of the performance period. The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model for PSUs included an expected stock price volatility between 35% and 40% based on a peer group of similar companies, an expected dividend yield of 0% , an expected term of two to three years , and a risk-free interest rate of between 0.9% and 1.3% . The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the three months ended December 31, 2018 : PSUs Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit Unvested PSUs at September 30, 2018 1,695,167 $ 8.76 Granted — — Vested — — Forfeited/Canceled — — Unvested PSUs at December 31, 2018 1,695,167 $ 8.76 As of December 31, 2018 , the Company may issue up to 3,390,334 shares of common stock related to the outstanding PSU awards described above under the 2016 LTIP. In November 2017, the Company granted 415,867 shares of restricted stock to employees under the 2016 LTIP. The restricted stock awards vest equally on the anniversary of the grant date over a three -year period provided that the recipients of such grants continue their employment with the Company. The awards are accounted for as equity instruments, and the fair value of the restricted stock awards was determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 , the Company granted restricted stock awards to certain of the Company’s non-employee directors under the 2016 LTIP that vested one year from the date of grant. The following table summarizes all restricted stock activity during the three months ended December 31, 2018 : Shares of Restricted Stock Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit Restricted stock at September 30, 2018 409,267 $ 7.50 Granted — — Vested (136,291 ) 7.50 Forfeited/Canceled — — Restricted stock at December 31, 2018 272,976 $ 7.50 During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the TPG Restricted Stock Grants were awarded with respect to 100,000 shares of Company common stock owned by TPG. These awards vest in equal amounts over a three -year period provided that the recipients of such grants continue their employment with the Company. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 , 27,471 shares of these awards vested, and 7,163 shares were transferred to the Company (reflected as treasury stock) to satisfy the officers’ and employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, 33,297 shares of these awards vested, 9,576 shares were transferred to the Company (reflected as treasury stock) to satisfy the officers’ and employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting, and 11,673 shares were transferred back to TPG due to forfeiture. There were 27,559 unvested shares of these awards at December 31, 2018 . While these awards were not made pursuant to the 2016 LTIP, they constitute equity-based compensation and therefore will count against the 2016 LTIP's share reserve to the extent the awards vest. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 999,492 stock options to employees under the 2016 LTIP. The awards vest in equal amounts over a three -year period provided that the recipients of such grants continue their employment with the Company. The awards are accounted for as equity instruments. The Company used the Black-Scholes Merton model to estimate the fair value of the option awards at the grant date. The resulting grant date fair value is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Merton model for the options included an expected term of six years , an expected stock price volatility of 35.0% based on a peer group of similar companies, an expected dividend yield of 0.0% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.1% . The following table summarizes stock option activity during the three months ended December 31, 2018 : Stock Options Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit Weighted Average Exercise Price Stock Options at September 30, 2018 992,892 $ 2.84 $ 7.42 Granted — — — Exercised — — — Forfeited/Canceled — — — Stock Options at December 31, 2018 992,892 $ 2.84 $ 7.42 The outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2018 had an aggregate intrinsic value of $1.2 million . No stock options were exercisable as of December 31, 2018 . During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company granted certain employees a total of 28,000 RSUs under the 2016 LTIP that vest equally over a three -year period on the anniversary of the grant date provided the employee remains employed by the Company. The awards are accounted for as equity instruments. Upon vesting, the recipients will receive a share of common stock in the Company for each RSU awarded. The fair value of these RSUs was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The following table summarizes RSU award activity during the three months ended December 31, 2018 : RSUs Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Unit Unvested RSUs at September 30, 2018 16,338 $ 7.28 Granted — — Vested (8,169 ) 7.28 Forfeited/Canceled — — Unvested RSUs at December 31, 2018 8,169 $ 7.28 During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company also awarded 10,500 phantom RSUs and 10,000 phantom PSUs to certain non-U.S. employees under the 2016 LTIP. The phantom RSUs vest equally over a three -year period on the anniversary of the grant date while the phantom PSUs vest under the same conditions as the PSU awards described above. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, 3,500 of the phantom RSUs were forfeited and all of the phantom PSUs were forfeited. Upon vesting and provided the employee remains employed by the Company at that time, the awards will be settled in cash. In accordance with ASC 718, the remaining phantom RSU awards are accounted for as a liability, with the awards re-measured at the end of each reporting period based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock or using a Monte Carlo simulation model, as applicable. Compensation expense is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. An immaterial amount of compensation expense was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 related to these awards. The following table summarizes the amount of compensation expense recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations by award type: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 PSUs $ 1.2 $ 1.2 Restricted Stock $ 0.3 $ 0.3 TPG restricted stock grants $ 0.1 $ 0.1 Stock options $ 0.2 $ 0.1 RSUs (1) $ — $ — (1) Compensation expense recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses for RSUs for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is less than $0.1 million . The following table summarizes unrecognized compensation expense and weighted average remaining life as of the three months ended December 31, 2018 by award type: Unrecognized Compensation Expense Weighted Average Remaining Life (in years) PSUs $ 2.9 0.5 Restricted Stock $ 1.7 1.8 TPG restricted stock grants $ 0.4 0.4 Stock options $ 1.6 8.8 RSUs (1) $ — 0.9 (1) Unrecognized compensation expense for RSUs as of the three months ended December 31, 2018 is less than $0.1 million . As of December 31, 2018 , there were 3,980,465 shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2016 LTIP, assuming the PSU awards vest at their maximum target. Pursuant to the terms of the Univar Merger Agreement and upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Univar Merger Agreement, each outstanding award granted, including unvested awards, under the 2016 LTIP will be cancelled in exchange for the consideration set forth in the Univar Merger Agreement. Each outstanding stock option, not including options out of the money, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration received by the Company's stockholders in respect of each "net share" covered by such stock option. The number of "net shares" covered by each stock option is equivalent to the number of shares of the Company's common stock with a value equal to the intrinsic value of such stock option. Each outstanding option that is out of the money will be cancelled for no consideration. Each outstanding share of restricted stock, including unvested shares, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration received by the Company's stockholders. Each outstanding PSU award, including unvested PSU awards, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration received by the Company's stockholders with respect to the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to such PSU award (determined based on actual performance through the latest practicable date prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Univar Merger Agreement). For purposes of the Univar Merger Agreement, the recipients of 2016 PSU awards will receive between 70% and 200% of the initial award, based on the Company’s actual level of performance at the time of the change in control. Each outstanding RSU award, including unvested RSU awards, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration received by the Company's stockholders with respect to the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to such RSU award. Each outstanding phantom RSU, including unvested phantom RSUs, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the merger consideration received by the Company's stockholders with respect to the number of shares of the Company's common stock subject to such phantom RSU award. The Company is restricted from granting any additional share-based compensation pursuant to a covenant contained in the Univar Merger Agreement. Defined Contribution Plans Qualifying employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan which allows employees to make tax deferred contributions as well as company contributions, designed to assist employees of the Company and its affiliates in providing for their retirement. The Company matches 100% of employee contributions up to 4.0% . The Company makes an additional contribution to the 401(k) Plan of 1.5% , 3.0% , or 4.5% , based upon years of service of one to ten years , eleven to twenty years and twenty-one years or more, respectively. A version of the 401(k) Plan is also available for qualifying employees of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The following summarizes contributions to the plans described above: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Contributions recorded as a component of cost of sales and operating expenses $ 1.1 $ 1.0 Contributions recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses 1.6 1.5 Total contributions $ 2.7 $ 2.5 |

Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Basic: Net income $ 16.2 $ 26.5 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period 76,945,078 76,793,518 Net income per common share - basic $ 0.21 $ 0.35 Diluted: Net income $ 16.2 $ 26.5 Denominator for diluted earnings per share: Weighted average number of common shares attributable to the period 76,945,078 76,793,518 Incremental common shares attributable to outstanding diluted options and unvested restricted shares 149,352 345,718 Denominator for diluted earnings per common share 77,094,430 77,139,236 Net income per common share - diluted $ 0.21 $ 0.34 Dilutive computations during the current period contain additional incremental common shares which are attributable to the outstanding unvested restricted stock awards issued to directors and employees, restricted stock units awarded to employees and unvested outstanding stock options awarded to employees. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 , the outstanding unvested restricted stock awards issued to directors and employees and restricted stock units awards to employees were included in the dilutive share calculation; the outstanding stock options were not included as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , there were 12,476,250 Founder Shares excluded from the basic and diluted computations because such shares were subject to forfeiture, and PSU awards, which were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because performance targets and/or market conditions were not yet met for these awards. Diluted shares outstanding also did not include 25,012,500 shares of common stock issuable on the exercise of 50,025,000 warrants because the warrants were out-of-the-money for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 |

These laws pertain to air and water, the management of solid and hazardous wastes, transportation and human health and safety. The Company’s reserves will be subject to numerous uncertainties that affect its ability to accurately estimate its costs, or its share of costs if multiple parties are responsible. These uncertainties involve the legal, regulatory and enforcement parameters governing environmental assessment and remediation, the nature and extent of contamination, the extent of required remediation efforts, the choice of remediation methodology, availability of insurance coverage and, in the case of sites with multiple responsible parties, the number and financial strength of any other potentially responsible parties. Other Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities, including product liability claims. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes For all periods, the Company computed the provision for income taxes based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate by applying the discrete method. Use of the annual effective tax rate, which relies on accurate projections by legal entity of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, as well as accurate projections by legal entity of permanent and temporary differences, was not considered a reliable estimate for purposes of calculating year-to-date income tax expense. The Tax Act effective date combined with the Company’s fiscal year end resulted in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 24.5% for the Company’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the U.S. statutory federal rate is 21.0% . Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $4.2 million on pre-tax income of $20.4 million compared to the income tax expense of $1.3 million on pre-tax income of $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017 . The current tax expense was largely attributable to income on profitable U.S. operations. The prior period tax expense was attributable to prior period income partially offset by the benefit on deferred tax liabilities due to the impact of the Tax Act, which resulted in a decrease in income tax expense of $4.5 million . At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , the valuation allowance was $4.1 million and $3.6 million , respectively, primarily related to operations in Asia. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon management’s expectations at December 31, 2018 , management believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the majority of its deferred tax assets. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as a component of Income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There was an insignificant amount of interest and penalties recognized during all periods. The Company had $4.1 million and $4.0 million related to uncertain tax positions, including related accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographic Data | Segment and Geographic Data The Company operates through three lines of business, or operating segments: Chemicals, Plastics and Environmental Services, which market to different sets of customers operating in an array of industries, with various end markets and customer segments within those industries. For segment presentation and disclosure purposes, the Chemicals and Plastics lines of business constitute separate reportable segments, while the Environmental Services line of business, which does not meet the materiality threshold for separate disclosure, is included in an "Other" segment. Each line of business represents unique products and suppliers, and each line of business focuses on specific end markets within its industry based on a variety of factors, including supplier or customer opportunities, expected growth and prevailing economic conditions. Across the Chemicals and Plastics lines of business there are numerous industry segments, end markets and sub markets that the Company may choose to focus on. These end markets may change from year to year depending on the underlying market economics, supplier focus, expected profitability and the Company’s strategic agenda. The Chemicals, Plastics and Environmental Services lines of business compete with national, regional and local companies throughout North America. Additionally, the Chemicals and Plastics lines of business compete with other distribution companies in Asia. The Plastics line of business also competes with other distribution companies in EMEA. Competition within each line of business is based primarily on the diversity of the product portfolio, service offerings, reliability of services and supply, technical support, price and delivery capabilities. The accounting policies used to account for transactions in each of the lines of business are the same as those used to account for transactions at the corporate level. The Chemicals and Plastics lines of business are distribution businesses, while the Environmental Services line of business provides hazardous and non-hazardous waste collection, recovery, recycling and disposal services. A brief description of each segment follows: Chemicals . The Chemicals line of business distributes specialty and industrial chemicals, additives and solvents to industrial users via railcars, barges, bulk tanker trucks and as packaged goods in trucks. The Company’s chemical products are distributed in approximately 50 countries worldwide, primarily in North America and Asia. In connection with the distribution of chemicals products, the Company provides value-added services such as custom blending, packaging and re-packaging, private-label manufacturing and product testing in the form of chemical analysis, product performance analysis and product development. While the Chemicals line of business serves multiple end markets, the key end markets within the industrial space are household, industrial and institutional, performance coatings (including architectural coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers), lubricants, oil and gas and personal care. Plastics . The Plastics line of business distributes a broad product line consisting of commodity polymer products and prime engineering resins to plastics processors engaged in blow molding, extrusion, injection molding and rotation molding via railcars, bulk trucks, truckload boxes and mixed truckloads, or less-than-truckload quantities. The Company's plastics products are distributed in more than 60 countries worldwide, primarily in North America, EMEA and Asia. The Plastics line of business serves a broad cross section of industrial segments, including key automotive and healthcare end markets. Other . The Environmental Services line of business, in connection with certain waste disposal service companies, provides customers with comprehensive on-site and off-site hazardous and non-hazardous waste collection, transportation, recovery, disposal arrangement and recycling services in North America, primarily in the U.S. These environmental services are offered through the Company’s network of distribution facilities used as transfer facilities and through a staff of dedicated on-site waste professionals. The Environmental Services line of business serves multiple end markets such as aerospace and defense, automotive, chemical manufacturing, industrial manufacturing and oil and gas. The Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews operating results in order to make decisions, assess performance and allocate resources to each line of business. In order to maintain the focus on line of business performance, certain expenses are excluded from the line of business results utilized by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker in evaluating line of business performance. These expenses include depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expense and corporate items including transaction related costs, interest and income tax expense. These items are separately delineated to reconcile to reported net income. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenues for any line of business for each of the periods reported. Intersegment revenues were insignificant. Certain assets are aggregated at the line of business level. The assets attributable to the Company’s lines of business, that are reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker, consist of trade accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill and any specific assets that are otherwise directly associated with a line of business. The Company’s inventory of packaging materials and containers, as well as property, plant and equipment, are generally not allocated to a line of business and are included in unallocated assets. Summarized financial information relating to the Company’s lines of business is as follows: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Sales and operating revenues Chemicals $ 438.5 $ 431.9 Plastics 456.1 462.2 Other 41.2 35.5 Total sales and operating revenues 935.8 929.6 Gross profit Chemicals 53.5 58.4 Plastics 38.7 41.9 Other 6.5 6.6 Total gross profit 98.7 106.9 Selling, general & administrative expenses 79.8 84.8 Transaction related costs 8.2 0.1 Change in fair value related to contingent consideration obligations (22.9 ) (18.6 ) Operating income 33.6 40.6 Other income, net 0.1 0.1 Interest income (expense) Interest income 0.2 0.1 Interest expense (13.5 ) (13.0 ) Net income before income taxes $ 20.4 $ 27.8 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 IDENTIFIABLE ASSETS Chemicals $ 795.8 $ 826.2 Plastics 743.1 758.2 Other 100.1 95.7 Total identifiable assets by reportable segment 1,639.0 1,680.1 Unallocated assets 540.1 563.5 Total assets $ 2,179.1 $ 2,243.6 Revenues by geographic location, based on the jurisdiction of the subsidiary entity receiving revenue credit for the sale, are presented below: Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 U.S. $ 696.8 $ 668.1 Canada 45.1 42.5 Other North America 29.8 33.0 Total North America Operations 771.7 743.6 EMEA 120.0 127.2 Asia 44.1 58.8 Total $ 935.8 $ 929.6 |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted and New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and require that revenue be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this standard on October 1, 2018. For disclosures related to the adoption of this guidance, see Note 3. In August 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU made eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2018 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company continues the evaluation of the potential effects on its financial position or results of operations of the accounting pronouncements disclosed in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on December 6, 2018 |
