Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted at September 30, 2022 In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires disclosures intended to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. The amendments in this ASU require buyers in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to each period in which a balance sheet is presented, except for disclosure of rollforward information, which should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's disclosures.

REVENUE (Notes)

REVENUE (Notes)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	REVENUE Revenue Recognition The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from product sales. The Company's revenue related to product sales was 99 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (99 percent and 98 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively). The remaining sales were primarily related to the Company's insurance operations and licensing of patents and technologies. Product sales consist of sales of the Company's products to manufacturers and distributors. The Company considers order confirmations or purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master supply agreements, to be contracts with a customer. The Company enters into licensing arrangements in which it licenses certain rights of its patents and technology to customers. Revenue from the Company’s licenses for patents and technology is derived from sales-based royalties and licensing arrangements based on billing schedules established in each contract. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. At September 30, 2022, the Company had unfulfilled performance obligations of $919 million ($829 million at December 31, 2021) related to the licensing of technology. The Company expects revenue to be recognized for the remaining performance obligations over the next six years. The remaining performance obligations are for product sales that have expected durations of one year or less, product sales of materials delivered through a pipeline for which the Company has elected the right to invoice practical expedient, or variable consideration attributable to royalties for licenses of patents and technology. The Company has received advance payments from customers related to long-term supply agreements that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract, with remaining contract terms that range up to 18 years. The Company will have rights to future consideration for revenue recognized when product is delivered to the customer. These payments are included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by operating segment and business, as the Company believes it best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows.

Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. Contract Assets and Liabilities The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the Company's contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet invoiced. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract and are recognized in revenue when the performance obligations are met. "Contract liabilities - current" primarily reflects deferred revenue from prepayments from customers for product to be delivered in 12 months or less and royalty payments that are deferred and will be recognized in 12 months or less. "Contract liabilities - noncurrent" includes advance payments that the Company has received from customers related to long-term supply agreements and royalty payments that are deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. Revenue recognized in the first nine months of 2022 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was approximately $165 million (approximately $250 million in the first nine months of 2021). In the first nine months of 2022, the amount of contract assets reclassified to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional was insignificant (approximately $5 million in the first nine months of 2021). The following table summarizes contract assets and liabilities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Contract Assets and Liabilities Balance Sheet Classification Sep 30, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 In millions Accounts and notes receivable - trade Accounts and notes receivable - trade $ 6,407 $ 6,841 Contract assets - current Other current assets $ 40 $ 34 Contract assets - noncurrent Deferred charges and other assets $ 19 $ 26 Contract liabilities - current 1 Accrued and other current liabilities $ 315 $ 209 Contract liabilities - noncurrent 2 Other noncurrent obligations $ 1,727 $ 1,925 1. The increase from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was due to the reclassification of deferred royalty payments from noncurrent to current. 2. The decrease from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was due to the recognition of revenue on long-term product supply agreements and reclassification of deferred royalty payments from noncurrent to current.

The Company recorded pretax restructuring charges of $585 million inception-to-date under the 2020 Restructuring Program, consisting of severance and related benefit costs of $287 million, asset write-downs and write-offs of $208 million and costs associated with exit and disposal activities of $90 million. The Company expects to incur additional costs in the future related to its restructuring activities. Future costs are expected to include demolition costs related to closed facilities and restructuring implementation costs; these costs will be recognized as incurred. The Company also expects to incur additional employee-related costs, including involuntary termination benefits, related to its other optimization activities. These costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. 2022 Asset Related Charges In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded pretax asset related charges of $186 million due to the Russia and Ukraine conflict and the expectation that certain assets will not be recoverable. These charges included the write-down of inventory, the recording of bad debt reserves and the impairment of other assets. Asset related charges by segment were as follows: $31 million in Packaging & Specialty Plastics, $109 million in Industrial Intermediates & Infrastructure, $16 million in Performance Materials & Coatings and $30 million in Corporate.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES A summary of the Company's commitments and contingencies can be found in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein. Environmental Matters Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. At September 30, 2022, the Company had accrued obligations of $1,197 million for probable environmental remediation and restoration costs ($1,220 million at December 31, 2021), including $239 million for the remediation of Superfund sites ($237 million at December 31, 2021). This is management’s best estimate of the costs for remediation and restoration with respect to environmental matters for which the Company has accrued liabilities, although it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost with respect to these particular matters could range up to approximately two times that amount. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that environmental remediation and restoration costs in excess of amounts accrued could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. It is the opinion of the Company’s management, however, that the possibility is remote that costs in excess of the range disclosed will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Inherent uncertainties exist in these estimates primarily due to unknown conditions, changing governmental regulations and legal standards regarding liability, and emerging remediation technologies for handling site remediation and restoration. As new or additional information becomes available and/or certain spending trends become known, management will evaluate such information in determination of the current estimate of environmental liability. Litigation Asbestos-Related Matters of Union Carbide Corporation Each quarter, Union Carbide reviews claims filed, settled and dismissed, as well as average settlement and resolution costs by disease category. Union Carbide also considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as the nature of pending claims, trial experience of Union Carbide and other asbestos defendants, current spending for defense and processing costs, significant appellate rulings and legislative developments, trends in the tort system, and their respective effects on expected future resolution costs. Union Carbide's management considers these factors in conjunction with the most recent actuarial study and determines whether a change in the estimate is warranted. Based on Union Carbide's review of 2022 activity, it was determined that no adjustment to the accrual was required at September 30, 2022. Union Carbide’s total asbestos-related liability for pending and future claims and defense and processing costs was $958 million at September 30, 2022 ($1,016 million at December 31, 2021). At September 30, 2022, approximately 25 percent of the recorded claim liability related to pending claims and approximately 75 percent related to future claims. Dow Silicones Chapter 11 Related Matters At September 30, 2022, Dow Silicones and its insurers have made life-to-date payments of $1,835 million to the settlement program administered by an independent claims office (the “Settlement Facility”), created to resolve breast implant and other product liability claims. At September 30, 2022, Dow Silicones estimates that it will be obligated to contribute an additional $87 million to the Settlement Facility which was included in “Accrued and other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets ($130 million at December 31, 2021, which was included in “Accrued and other current liabilities” and "Other noncurrent obligations" in the consolidated balance sheets). Indemnifications with Corning Incorporated The Company had indemnification assets with Corning Incorporated of $99 million at September 30, 2022 ($95 million at December 31, 2021), which were included primarily in "Noncurrent receivables" in the consolidated balance sheets. Gain Contingency - Dow v. Nova Chemicals Corporation Patent Infringement Matter As a result of a 2017 damages judgment related to the patent infringement matter, Nova Chemicals Corporation ("Nova") was ordered to pay the Company $645 million Canadian dollars, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, for which the Company received payment of $501 million U.S. dollars in July 2017. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $341 million ($341 million at December 31, 2021) included in "Accrued and other current liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets related to the disputed portion of the damages judgment. Gain Contingency - Dow v. Nova Chemicals Corporation Ethylene Asset Matter As a result of a 2019 damages judgment related to the ethylene asset matter, Nova was ordered to pay the Company $1.43 billion Canadian dollars (equivalent to approximately $1.08 billion U.S. dollars). In October 2019, Nova paid $1.08 billion Canadian dollars (equivalent to approximately $0.8 billion U.S. dollars) directly to the Company, and remitted $347 million Canadian dollars to the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") for the tax account of one of the Company's subsidiaries. In March 2020, the Company received the full refund from the CRA, equivalent to $259 million U.S. dollars. At September 30, 2022, $323 million ($323 million at December 31, 2021) was included in "Other noncurrent obligations" in the Company's consolidated balance sheets related to the disputed portion of the damages judgment. Brazilian Tax Credits In March 2017, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (“Brazil Supreme Court”) ruled in a leading case that a Brazilian value-added tax ("ICMS") should not be included in the base used to calculate a taxpayer's federal contribution on total revenue known as PIS/COFINS (the “2017 Decision”). Previously, three of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries filed lawsuits challenging the inclusion of ICMS in their calculation of PIS/COFINS, seeking recovery of excess taxes paid. In response to the 2017 Decision, the Brazilian tax authority filed an appeal seeking clarification of the amount of ICMS tax to exclude from the calculation of PIS/COFINS. In May 2021, the Brazil Supreme Court ruled in a leading case related to the amount of ICMS tax to exclude from the calculation of PIS/COFINS, which resolved two of the lawsuits filed by the Company and, in May 2022, a court decision related to the remaining lawsuit, ruling in favor of the Company's Brazilian subsidiary, became final and unappealable. As a result, the Company recorded pretax gains of $112 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $61 million in the second quarter of 2021 for certain excess PIS/COFINS paid from 2009 to 2019, plus applicable interest, which the Company expects to apply to future required federal tax payments, and the reversal of related liabilities. The pretax gains were recorded in “Cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2022, related tax credits available and expected to be applied to future required federal tax payments totaled $129 million ($52 million at December 31, 2021). Guarantees The following table provides a summary of the final expiration, maximum future payments and recorded liability included in the consolidated balance sheets for guarantees: Guarantees Sep 30, 2022 Dec 31, 2021 In millions Final Maximum Future Payments 1 Recorded Liability Final Maximum Future Payments 1 Recorded Liability Guarantees 2038 $ 1,249 $ 205 2038 $ 1,273 $ 220 1. In addition, TDCC has provided guarantees, in proportion to the Company's 35 percent ownership interest, of all future interest payments that will become due on Sadara’s project financing debt during the grace period, which Dow's share is estimated to be $480 million at September 30, 2022 ($446 million at December 31, 2021). Based on Sadara's current forecasted cash flows, the Company does not expect to be required to perform under the guarantees. Guarantees arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers, committed accounts receivable facilities and nonconsolidated affiliates when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others (via delivery of cash or other assets) if specified triggering events occur. With guarantees, such as commercial or financial contracts, non-performance by the guaranteed party triggers the obligation of the Company to make payments to the beneficiary of the guarantee. The majority of the Company’s guarantees relate to debt of nonconsolidated affiliates, which have expiration dates ranging from less than 1 year to 16 years. The Company’s current expectation is that future payment or performance related to the non-performance of others is considered remote. TDCC has entered into guarantee agreements related to Sadara, a nonconsolidated affiliate. Sadara reached an agreement with its lenders to re-profile its outstanding project financing debt in the first quarter of 2021. In conjunction with the debt re-profiling, TDCC entered into a guarantee of up to approximately $1.3 billion of Sadara’s debt, proportionate to the Company's 35 percent ownership interest. The debt re-profiling also includes a grace period until June 2026, during which Sadara is obligated to make interest-only payments which are guaranteed by TDCC in proportion to the Company’s 35 percent ownership interest. As part of the debt re-profiling, Sadara established a $500 million revolving credit facility guaranteed by Dow, which would be used to fund Dow’s pro-rata share of any potential shortfall during the grace period. Based on Sadara's forecasted cash flows and no significant scheduled debt repayments until 2026, the Company does not expect Sadara to draw on the facility.
