Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Minerals Technologies Inc. (the "Company") is a resource- and technology-based company that develops, produces and markets on a worldwide basis a broad range of specialty mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and supporting systems and services. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, pension plan assumptions, income tax, and litigation and environmental liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist of financial instruments, mainly bank deposits, with original maturities beyond three months, but less than twelve months. Short-term investments amounted to $4.9 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no unrealized holding gains and losses on the short-term bank investments held at December 31, 2021. Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific allowances for bankrupt customers. The Company also analyzes the collection history and financial condition of its other customers, considering current industry conditions and determines whether an allowance needs to be established. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days based on payment terms are reviewed individually for collectability. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.0 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Additionally, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, freight handling costs, and re-handling costs are recognized as current period charges. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion are based upon the normal capacity of the production facility. Fixed overhead costs associated with idle capacity are expensed as incurred. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes interest cost as a component of construction in progress. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for substantially all of the assets for financial reporting purposes, except for mining related equipment which uses units-of-production method. The annual rates of depreciation are 3% - 6.67% for buildings, 6.67% - 12.5% for machinery and equipment, 8% - 12.5% for furniture and fixtures and 12.5% - 25% for computer equipment and software-related assets. The estimated useful lives of our PCC production facilities and machinery and equipment pertaining to our natural stone mining and processing plants and our chemical plants are 15 years. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets can generate revenue, which does not necessarily coincide with the remaining term of a customer's contractual obligation to purchase products made using those assets. The Company's sales of PCC are predominantly pursuant to long-term evergreen contracts, initially ten years in length, with paper mills at which the Company operates satellite PCC plants. The terms of many of these agreements have been extended, often in connection with an expansion of the satellite PCC plant. Failure of a PCC customer to renew an agreement or continue to purchase PCC from a Company facility could result in an impairment of assets charge or accelerated depreciation at such facility. Depletion of mineral reserves is determined on a unit-of-extraction basis for financial reporting purposes, based upon proven and probable reserves, and generally on a percentage depletion basis for tax purposes. Stripping Costs Incurred During Production Stripping costs are those costs incurred for the removal of waste materials for the purpose of accessing ore body that will be produced commercially. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable costs that are included in the costs of inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest), resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, determined principally using discounted cash flows. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead assessed for impairment. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated lives to the estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The Company performs a qualitative assessment for each of its reporting units to determine if the two-step process for impairment testing is required. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would then evaluate the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. In the first step, the fair value for the reporting unit is compared to its book value including goodwill. In the case that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, a second step is performed which compares the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the book value of the goodwill. The fair value for the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair values of the reporting unit and the net fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of such reporting unit. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the book value, the difference is recognized as impairment. In addition to the assessment of goodwill impairment, the Company also reviews its other identifiable intangibles for impairment. Each year, the Company reviews whether events or changes in circumstances could indicate that a long-lived asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Should such events occur, the value of intangibles not recoverable would be recognized as impairment. Investment in Joint Ventures The Company uses the equity method of accounting to incorporate the results of its investments in companies in which it has significant influence but does not control; and cost method of accounting in companies in which it cannot exercise significant control. The Company records the equity in earnings of its investments in joint ventures on a one-month lag. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the book value of the Company’s equity method investments was $17.5 million and $17.0 million. Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations The Company provides for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company also provides for legal obligations to perform asset retirement activities where timing or methods of settlement are conditional on future events. The Company also records liabilities related to land reclamation as a part of the asset retirement obligations. The Company mines land for various minerals using a surface-mining process that requires the removal of overburden. In many instances, the Company is obligated to restore the land upon completion of the mining activity. As the overburden is removed, the Company recognizes this liability for land reclamation based on the estimated fair value of the obligation. The obligation is adjusted to reflect the passage of time and changes in estimated future cash outflows. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued interest, and variable-rate long-term debt approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments or the variable nature of underlying interest rates. Short-term investments are recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company records derivative financial instruments which are used to hedge certain foreign exchange risk at fair value on the balance sheet. See Note 12 for a full description of the Company's hedging activities and related accounting policies. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from the sale of products. Our primary performance obligation is satisfied upon shipment or delivery to our customer based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenues from sales of equipment are recorded upon completion of installation and transfer of control to the customer. Revenue where our performance obligations are satisfied in phases is recognized over time using certain input measures based on the measurement of the value transferred to the customer, including milestones achieved. Revenues from services are recorded when the services are performed. In most of our PCC contracts, the price per ton is based upon the total number of tons sold to the customer during the year. Under those contracts, the price billed to the customer for shipments during the year is based on periodic estimates of the total annual volume that will be sold to the customer. Revenues are adjusted at the end of each year to reflect the actual volume sold. There were no significant revenue adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have consignment arrangements with certain customers in our Refractories segment. Revenues for these transactions are recorded when the consigned products are consumed by the customer. Foreign Currency The assets and liabilities of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the respective balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. Income statement items are generally translated at monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. International subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies translate non-monetary assets at historical rates, while net monetary assets are translated at current rates, with the resulting translation adjustments included in net income. At December 31, 2021, the Company had no international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within the U.S. and outside the U.S. In certain situations, a taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. The Company regularly assesses its tax position for such transactions and includes reserves for those differences in position. The reserves are utilized or reversed once the statute of limitations has expired or the matter is otherwise resolved. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties as part of its provision for income taxes. See Note 8 for additional detail on our uncertain tax positions. The accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for foreign withholding taxes on international subsidiaries' unremitted earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested overseas. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based upon the grant date fair value over the vesting period. Pension and Post-retirement Benefits The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of its employees. The benefits are generally based on years of service and an employee's modified career earnings. The Company also provides post-retirement healthcare benefits for the majority of its retirees and employees in the United States. The Company measures the costs of its obligation based on its best estimate. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the post-retirement benefits. Environmental Expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable the Company will be obligated to pay amounts for environmental site evaluation, remediation or related costs, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated for subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Adoption of In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", to simplify the accounting for income taxes and improve consistent application by clarifying or amending existing guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Adoption of In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging", which addresses the accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Note 2. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for premises, equipment, rail cars and automobiles. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 50 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases further. The Company considers these options in determining the lease term used to establish the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based upon the information available at commencement date, or as of implementation of ASC 842, in determining the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain lease agreements contain both lease and non-lease components. We account for lease components together with non-lease components. Operating lease cost was $15.3 million, $15.3 million and $16.6 for the years ended December 31, 2021 , December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The components of lease costs are as follows: December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Operating lease cost $ 15.2 $ 15.2 $ 15.5 Short-term lease cost 0.1 0.1 1.1 Total $ 15.3 $ 15.3 $ 16.6 Supplemental cash flow information and non-cash activity related to our leases are as follows: (millions of dollars) December 31, Operating cash flows information: Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 16.0 Non-cash activity: Right-of-use assets obtained in the exchange for operating lease liabilities $ 11.5 Weighted average remaining lease term, and weighted average discount rates related to the Company’s leases were as follows: Weighted-average remaining operating lease term (in years) 7.22 Weighted-average operating leases discount rate 5.0 % The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding lease assets and liabilities and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet: December 31, (millions of dollars) Balance Sheet Classification 2021 2020 Right-of-use-asset Other assets and deferred charges $ 49.6 $ 50.9 Lease liability - current Other current liabilities 11.7 11.7 Lease liability - non-current Other non-current liabilities 47.2 49.2 Future minimum lease payments under the Company's leases as of were as follows: (millions of dollars) December 31, 2022 $ 14.3 2023 12.1 2024 9.5 2025 8.0 2026 7.4 Thereafter 19.3 Total future minimum lease payments 70.6 Less imputed interest (11.7 ) Total $ 58.9 |

Revenue from Contracts with Customers [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of products in product lines within our Performance Materials, Specialty Minerals and Refractories businesses. On a regular basis, the Company reviews its segments and the approach used by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company reorganized the management structure for its Energy Services and Performance Materials operating segments to support MTI's key growth initiatives, more closely align complementary technologies, processes and capabilities, and better reflect the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated. As a result, Energy Services, was combined into the Environmental Products product line within the Performance Materials operating segment. The Performance Materials' operating segment restated financial results for the years ended 2020 and 2019, by product line, are presented in Note 21 to conform to the current management structure. Our primary performance obligation (the sale of products) is satisfied upon shipment or delivery to our customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. In most of our contracts in our Paper PCC product line, which is in our Specialty Minerals segment, the price per ton is based upon the total number of tons sold to the customer during the year. Under these contracts, the price billed to the customer for shipments during the year is based on periodic estimates of the total annual volume that will be sold to such customer. Revenues are adjusted at the end of each year to reflect the actual volume sold. Revenue from sales of equipment, primarily in our Refractory products product line within our Refractories segment, is recorded upon completion of installation and control is transferred to the customer. Revenue from services is recorded when the services have been performed. Included within our Refractory products product line are certain consignment arrangements with certain customers in our Refractories segment. Revenues for these transactions are recorded when the consigned products are consumed by the customer and control is transferred. Revenue where our performance obligations are satisfied in phases is recognized over time using certain input measures based on the measurement of the value transferred to the customer, including milestones achieved. The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source (product line) for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: Year Ended December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Net Sales Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products $ 460.5 $ 380.2 $ 376.6 Metalcasting 319.2 258.1 291.2 Environmental Products 136.3 131.6 181.8 Building Materials 60.0 55.9 68.9 Performance Materials 976.0 825.8 918.5 Paper PCC 349.7 308.4 364.9 Specialty PCC 77.1 69.3 69.1 Ground Calcium Carbonate 98.1 89.3 91.3 Talc 54.0 43.9 49.1 Specialty Minerals 578.9 510.9 574.4 Refractory Products 237.1 212.3 244.8 Metallurgical Products 66.3 45.8 53.3 Refractories 303.4 258.1 298.1 Total $ 1,858.3 $ 1,594.8 $ 1,791.0 |

Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Note 4. Acquisitions On July 26, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Normerica Inc., a leading North American supplier of premium pet care products for approximately $189 million. Normerica has production facilities in Canada, the U.S. and Thailand. As a leader in the pet product industry, Normerica provides premium products, both branded and private label to world-class retailers. Its product portfolio consists primarily of bentonite-based cat litter products which are supplied from a network of strategically located manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States. The results of Normerica are included within our Household, Personal Care & Specialty Products product line in our Performance Materials segment. Normerica sales of $48.6 million are included in the Company's consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2021. The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash on hand and the Company’s credit facilities. The fair value of the total consideration transferred, net of cash acquired, was $187.5 million. The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that we recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2021, the purchase price allocation remains preliminary as the Company completes its assessment of property, certain reserves, legal and tax matters, obligations, intangible assets and deferred taxes, as well as completes its review of Normerica’s existing accounting policies. The following table summarizes the Company's preliminary purchase price allocation for the Normerica acquisition as compared with the allocation previously reported on the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 3, 2021: (millions of dollars) Preliminary Allocation Previously Reported on Form 10-Q as of October 3, 2021 Increase/ (Decrease) Preliminary Allocation as of December 31, 2021 Accounts receivable $ 8.4 $ — $ 8.4 Inventories 5.1 — 5.1 Other current assets 1.4 — 1.4 Property, plant and equipment 21.2 — 21.2 Goodwill 106.0 (1.5 ) 104.5 Intangible assets 67.0 1.1 68.1 Total assets acquired 209.1 (0.4 ) 208.7 Accounts payable 12.8 — 12.8 Accrued expenses 9.4 (1.0 ) 8.4 Total liabilities assumed 22.2 (1.0 ) 21.2 Net assets acquired $ 186.9 $ 0.6 $ 187.5 The Company used the income, market, or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the preliminary valuation and used valuation inputs and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the fair value of intangible assets. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. For certain items, the carrying value was determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value based on the information available. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the assets acquired and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill is primarily attributable to fair value of expected synergies from combining the MTI and Normerica businesses and will be allocated to the Performance Materials reporting unit. The allocation is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2022. Intangible assets acquired of $68.1 million mainly include tradenames of $18.1 million and customer relationships of $50 million. Tradenames have an estimated useful life of approximately 15 years and customer relationships have an estimated useful life of approximately 20 years. The Company did not present pro forma and other financial information for the Normerica acquisition, as this is not considered to be a material business combination. The Company incurred $4.0 million and $3.1 million of acquisition-related costs during 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are reflected within the acquisition-related expenses line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. In November 2021, the Company acquired Specialty PCC assets from a company in the Midwest United States for $6.9 million. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company acquired the assets of a mining and hauling company in the western United States for $9.2 million to support our bentonite clay mining operations. |

Restructuring and Other Items, net | Note 5. Restructuring and Other Items, net In the third quarter of 2021, PCA Corporation discontinued the use of PCC at their mill in Jackson, Alabama. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash asset write-down of $ million and $ million in severance related and other closure costs for its Paper PCC satellite facility at this mill. During the third quarter of 2020, Domtar Corporation announced the permanent shut down of their previously idled paper machine at their mill in Ashdown, Arkansas. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash asset write-down charge of $1.1 million for its Paper PCC satellite facility at this mill. During the second quarter of 2020, Verso Papers announced they would be idling two of their paper mills indefinitely. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash asset write-down charge of $6.0 million and $0.3 million in severance related costs for its Paper PCC satellite facilities at these mills. The Company also recorded lease termination costs at one of these closed mills. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company initiated a restructuring and cost savings program to better align our costs and organizational structure with the current market environment. The Company recorded a $7.5 million non-cash asset write-down charge related to facilities and equipment no longer operating and deemed to be held for sale or discontinued and $5.7 million in other restructuring costs. The following table outlines the amount of restructuring charges recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Income and the segments they relate to: Restructuring and Other Items, net Year Ended December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Asset Write-Downs Performance Materials $ — $ — $ 5.9 Specialty Minerals 0.7 7.1 1.6 Total asset write-down charges $ 0.7 $ 7.1 $ 7.5 Severance and other costs Performance Materials $ — $ — $ 2.9 Specialty Minerals 0.4 0.5 0.9 Refractories — — 0.8 Corporate — — 1.1 Total severance and other employee costs $ 0.4 $ 0.5 $ 5.7 Total restructuring and other items, net $ 1.1 $ 7.6 $ 13.2 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $2.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, included within other current liabilities within our Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash expenditures needed to satisfy remaining obligations under these reorganization initiatives.

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 6. Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s 2015 Stock Award and Incentive Plan provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and performance unit awards (the 2015 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended, referred to herein as the “Plan” and together with its predecessor for awards granted prior to May 2015, the 2001 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock options granted under the Plans generally have a ten year term. The exercise price for stock options are at prices at or above the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, and each award of stock options will vest ratably over a specified period, generally three years. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated financial statements for stock options based on the grant date fair value. Net income for years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019 include $4.9 million, $4.6 million and $4.8 million pre-tax compensation costs, respectively, related to stock option expense as a component of marketing and administrative expenses. All stock option expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The related tax benefit included in the statement of income on the non-qualified stock options was $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Stock Options The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on the Company's historical experience and future expectations. The forfeiture rate assumption used for the periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was 8.38%, 8.45% and 8.85%, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $21.62, $18.99 and $18.86, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value for stock options vested during 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $20.56, $23.85 and $22.46, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $6.1 million, $2.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The fair value for stock awards was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Expected life (in years) 6.9 6.7 6.6 Interest rate 0.71 % 1.67 % 2.62 % Volatility 32.04 % 30.34 % 30.26 % Expected dividend yield 0.31 % 0.35 % 0.37 % The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercised and is based on historical experience of similar awards, based upon contractual terms, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior. The expected stock-price volatility is based upon the historical and implied volatility of the Company's stock. The interest rate is based upon the implied yield on U.S. Treasury bills with an equivalent remaining term. Estimated dividend yield is based upon historical dividends paid by the Company. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2021: Awards Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (Millions) Awards outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,363,366 $ 57.29 Granted 255,769 66.00 Exercised (251,195 ) 51.12 Canceled (37,938 ) 64.92 Awards outstanding at December 31, 2021 1,330,002 $ 59.91 6.14 $ 18.7 Awards exercisable at December 31, 2021 834,060 $ 59.09 4.80 $ 12.8 The aggregate intrinsic value above is calculated before applicable income taxes, based on the Company's closing stock price of $73.15 as of the last business day of the period ended December 31, 2021 had all options been exercised on that date. The weighted average intrinsic value of the options exercised during 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $24.43, $24.41 and $27.21 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was approximately $4.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Non-vested stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows: Awards Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share Nonvested awards outstanding at December 31, 2020 487,160 $ 58.61 Granted 255,769 66.00 Vested (225,402 ) 60.88 Canceled (21,585 ) 61.11 Nonvested awards outstanding at December 31, 2021 495,942 $ 61.28 Restricted Stock The Company has granted key employees rights to receive shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Plan. The rights will be deferred for a specified number of years of service, subject to restrictions on transfer and other conditions. Compensation expense for these shares is recognized over the vesting period. The Company granted 102,309 shares, 108,212 shares and 116,901 shares for the periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the market value of unrestricted shares. As of December 31, 2021, there was unrecognized stock-based compensation related to restricted stock of $6.4 million, which will be recognized over approximately the next three years. The compensation expense amortized with respect to all units was approximately $5.9 million, $5.6 million and $5.2 million for the periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded reversals of $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $1.9 million for periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related mostly to the conversion of restricted stock for tax withholding purposes. Such costs and reversals are included in marketing and administrative expenses.

Included in this amount were a total of $3.6 million of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. While it is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, we do not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits: (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of the year $ 7.6 $ 7.9 Increases related to current year tax positions 0.6 0.7 Increases related to new judgements 0.2 — Decreases related to audit settlements and statue expirations (3.3 ) (1.0 ) Balance at the end of the year $ 5.1 $ 7.6 The Company's accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued, relating to unrecognized income tax benefits as part of its provision for income taxes. The Company recorded $0.8 million in interest and penalties during 2021 and had a total accrued balance on December 31, 2021 of $1.2 million. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside the U.S. In certain situations, a taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. The Company, with a few exceptions (none of which are material), is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, and international income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2015. Net cash paid for income taxes were $42.5 million, $28.5 million and $29.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company had approximately $481.4 million of foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2021. We intend to continue to permanently reinvest these earnings overseas for the foreseeable future and while U.S. federal tax expense has been recognized as a result of U.S. Tax Reform, no deferred tax liabilities with respect to foreign withholding taxes or state taxes have been recognized. |

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities As a multinational corporation with operations throughout the world, the Company is exposed to certain market risks. The Company uses a variety of practices to manage these market risks, including, when considered appropriate, derivative financial instruments. The Company's objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from interest rates and foreign currency exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge them. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only for risk management and not for trading or speculative purposes. By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty, and therefore, it does not face any credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with major financial institutions. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or commodity prices. The market risk associated with interest rate and forward exchange contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Cash Flow Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company records the effective portion of the gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The Company subsequently reclassifies the effective portion of gain or loss into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit exposure to market fluctuations on floating-rate debt. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a floating to fixed interest rate swap for a notional amount of $150 million. The fair value of this swap is a liability of $4.0 million at December 31, 2021 and is recorded in other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge. As a result, the gains and losses associated with this interest rate swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Net Investment Hedges To protect the value of our investments in our foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company from time to time hedges a portion of our net investment in or more of our foreign subsidiaries. During the quarter of , the Company entered into a cross currency rate swap with a total notional value of $ million to exchange monthly fixed-rate interest payments in U.S. dollars for monthly fixed-rate interest rate payments in Euros. This contract matures in and requires the exchange of Euros and U.S. dollar principal payments upon maturity. Changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized in to offset the change in the carrying amount of the net investment being hedged. Amounts are reclassified out of into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. Other The Company is exposed to potential gains or losses from foreign currency fluctuations affecting net investments and earnings denominated in foreign currencies. The Company is particularly sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations for the following currencies: British pound sterling (GBP), Chinese renminbi (CNY), Euro, Malaysian ringgit (MYR), Polish zloty (PLN), South African Rand (ZAR), Thai baht (THB) and Turkish lira (TRY). When considered appropriate, the Company enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of fluctuations on these exposures. The Company does not designate these contracts for hedge accounting treatment and the changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. The Company recorded losses (gains) of $0.7 million, $0.2 million and $2.1 million in other non-operating income (deductions), net within the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019 respectively. There were no open contracts at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Note 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is an exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are as follows: ● Market approach – ● Cost approach – ● Income approach – The Company primarily applies the income approach for foreign exchange derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each of the past two years. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on 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 and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. (millions of dollars) Fair Value Measurements Using Asset / (Liability) Balance at Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Description December 31, 2021 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Deferred compensation plan assets $ 14.6 $ — $ 14.6 $ — Supplementary pension plan assets 16.8 — 16.8 — Cross currency rate swap 8.2 — 8.2 — Interest rate swaps (4.0 ) — (4.0 ) — Fair Value Measurements Using Asset / (Liability) Balance at Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs Description December 31, 2020 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Deferred compensation plan assets $ 14.2 $ — $ 14.2 $ — Supplementary pension plan assets 15.0 — 15.0 — Cross currency rate swap 0.4 — 0.4 — Interest rate swaps (7.6 ) — (7.6 ) — The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2. Deferred compensation and supplementary pension plan assets related to the acquisition of AMCOL businesses and are valued using quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, except for pension assets discussed in Note 16, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were also no changes to the Company's valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. |

Long-Term Debt and Commitments | Note 15. Long-Term Debt and Commitments The following is a summary of long-term debt: December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 Term Loan Facility- Variable Tranche due February 14, 2024 8.8 12.4 $ 539.2 $ 535.6 Senior Notes due 2028 5.4 394.6 393.9 Netherlands Term Loan due 2022 0.2 0.6 Japan Loan Facilities 3.0 4.1 Total $ 937.0 $ 934.2 Less: Current maturities 0.8 1.0 Long-term debt $ 936.2 $ 933.2 On May 9, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of AMCOL International Corporation (“AMCOL”), the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $1,560 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) and a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”). On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the credit agreement to reprice the $1.378 billion then outstanding on the Term Facility. As amended, the Term Facility had a $1.078 billion floating rate tranche and a $300 million fixed rate tranche. On February 14, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the credit agreement to reprice the $788 million floating rate tranche then outstanding, which extended the maturity and lowered the interest costs by 75 basis points. On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the credit agreement to refinance its then existing senior secured revolving credit facility. In connection with the Third Amendment, the existing senior secured revolving credit facility was replaced with a new revolving credit facility with $300 million of aggregate commitments (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). Following the amendments, the loans outstanding under the floating rate tranche of the Term Facility are scheduled to mature on February 14, 2024, and the loans outstanding (if any) and commitments under the Revolving Facility will mature and terminate, as the case may be, on April 18, 2023. Loans under the fixed rate tranche of the Term Facility were repaid in full in June 2020. Loans under the floating rate tranche of the Term Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% per annum. Loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.625% per annum. Such rates are subject to decrease by up to 25 basis points in the event that, and for so long as, the Company’s net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than certain thresholds. The variable rate tranche has a 1% required amortization per year. The Company will pay certain fees under the credit agreement, including customary annual administration fees. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by, subject to certain exceptions, all material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors. The credit agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions. In addition, the credit agreement contains a financial covenant that requires the Company, if on the last day of any fiscal quarter loans or letters of credit were outstanding under the Revolving Facility (excluding up to $25 million of letters of credit), to maintain a maximum net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of 3.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarter period preceding such day. As of December 31, 2021, there were eighty outstanding loans and $10.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The Company is in compliance with all the covenants associated with the Revolving Facility as of the end of the period covered by this report. On June 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.0% Senior Notes due 2028 The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.0% per annum payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2021. The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company's existing and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower under or that guarantees the Company's obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that guarantees the Company's or any of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries' long-term indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million. At any time and from time to time prior to , the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price equal to of their principal amount, plus the “make-whole” premium described in the Indenture and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Beginning on , the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time and from time to time at the applicable redemption prices listed in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to , the Company may redeem up to of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with funds from or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. If the Company experiences a change of control (as defined in the indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The indenture contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions or take certain actions, as well as customary events of default. As part of the Company's acquisition of Sivomatic, the Company assumed $10.7 million in long-term debt, recorded at fair value, consisting of two term loans, one of which matured in the third quarter of 2020 and the other of which matures in 2022. The outstanding loan carries an interest rate of Euribor plus 2.0% and has quarterly repayments. During 2021, the Company repaid $0.4 million on this loan. The Company has a committed loan facility in Japan. As of December 31, 2021, there was an outstanding balance of $3.0 million on this facility. Principal will be repaid in accordance with the payment schedules ending in 2021. The Company repaid $0.8 million on this loan in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $25.9 million in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines, none of which were in use. There were $80.0 million and no short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding as December 31, 2021 was 1.8%. The aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: $0.8 million in 2022; $0.6 million in 2023; $548.6 million in 2024, $0.6 million in 2025; $0.6 million in 2026 and $400.0 million thereafter. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company incurred interest costs of $42.1 million, $40.7 million and $46.0 million, including $1.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which were capitalized. Interest paid approximated the incurred interest cost. |

Benefit Plans [Abstract] | |
Benefit Plans | Note 16. Benefit Plans Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering the majority of eligible employees on a contributory or non-contributory basis. Benefits under defined benefit plans are generally based on years of service and an employee's career earnings. Employees generally become fully vested after five years. The Company also provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for the majority of its U.S. retired employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate the plan in the future. The Company’s disclosures for the U.S. plans have been combined with those outside of the U.S. as the international plans do not have significantly different assumptions, and together represent less than 22% of our total benefit obligation. The following table set forth Company's pension obligation and funded status at December 31: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Benefits (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in benefit obligations: Beginning projected benefit obligation $ 534.3 $ 484.4 $ 4.6 $ 5.9 Service cost 7.7 7.7 0.1 0.2 Interest cost 7.9 10.5 0.1 0.2 Actuarial (gain)/loss (23.8 ) 56.5 (0.3 ) (1.3 ) Benefits paid (12.4 ) (12.3 ) (0.5 ) (0.4 ) Settlements (16.3 ) (18.4 ) (1.6 ) — Foreign exchange impact (2.7 ) 5.5 (0.1 ) — Other 0.3 0.4 — — Ending projected benefit obligation 495.0 534.3 2.3 4.6 Change in plan assets: Beginning fair value 358.2 340.0 — — Actual return on plan assets 44.0 31.1 — — Employer contributions 10.7 11.8 0.5 0.4 Plan participants' contributions 0.3 0.3 — — Benefits paid (12.4 ) (12.2 ) (0.5 ) (0.4 ) Settlements (17.1 ) (16.9 ) — — Foreign exchange impact (2.3 ) 4.1 — — Ending fair value 381.4 358.2 — — Funded status $ (113.6 ) $ (176.1 ) $ (2.3 ) $ (4.6 ) Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet consist of: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Benefits (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Current liability $ (1.4 ) $ (1.4 ) $ (0.2 ) $ (0.3 ) Non-current liability (112.2 ) (174.7 ) (2.1 ) (4.3 ) Recognized liability $ (113.6 ) $ (176.1 ) $ (2.3 ) $ (4.6 ) The current portion of pension liabilities is included in accrued compensation and related items. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, consist of: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Benefits (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net actuarial (gain) loss $ 73.2 $ 119.0 $ (3.7 ) $ (4.2 ) Prior service cost 0.1 0.1 — — Amount recognized end of year $ 73.3 $ 119.1 $ (3.7 ) $ (4.2 ) The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $408.7 million and $501.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the Company's pension obligation for 2021 is primarily attributable to actuarial gains resulting from the increase in the discount rate. The accumulated benefit obligations and projected benefit obligations are in excess of the plan assets for each of the Company's defined benefit plans. Changes in the Plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive income: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Benefits (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Current year actuarial gain (loss) $ 36.7 $ (29.6 ) $ 0.1 $ 0.9 Amortization of actuarial (gain) loss 9.0 10.5 (0.6 ) (0.5 ) Amortization of prior service credit (gain) loss — — — — Total recognized in other comprehensive income $ 45.7 $ (19.1 ) $ (0.5 ) $ 0.4 The components of net periodic benefit costs are as follows: Pension Benefits Post-Retirement Benefits (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Service cost $ 7.7 $ 7.7 $ 6.8 $ 0.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 Interest cost 7.9 10.5 14.0 0.1 0.2 0.2 Expected return on plan assets (22.0 ) (20.1 ) (18.2 ) — — — Amortization of prior service cost — — — — — — Recognized net actuarial (gain) loss 12.1 13.9 10.1 (0.8 ) (0.9 ) (0.9 ) Settlement/curtailment (gain) loss 3.4 6.4 (0.1 ) (1.6 ) — — Net periodic benefit cost $ 9.1 $ 18.4 $ 12.6 $ (2.2 ) $ (0.5 ) $ (0.5 ) Unrecognized prior service cost is amortized over the average remaining service period of each active employee. The Company's funding policy for U.S. plans generally is to contribute annually into trust funds at a rate that provides for future plan benefits and maintains appropriate funded percentages. Annual contributions to the U.S. qualified plans are at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards and are not more than the maximum amount deductible for income tax purposes. The funding policies for the international plans conform to local governmental and tax requirements. The plans' assets are invested primarily in stocks and bonds. Additional Information The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost in the accounting for the pension benefit plans and other benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.01 % 2.74 % 3.75 % Expected return on plan assets 6.28 % 6.32 % 6.43 % Rate of compensation increase 2.72 % 2.72 % 3.01 % Interest crediting rate 2.25 % 3.75 % 2.57 % The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for the pension benefit plans and other benefit plans at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.42 % 2.01 % 2.75 % Rate of compensation increase 2.74 % 2.98 % 2.99 % For 2021, 2020 and 2019, the discount rate was based on a Citigroup yield curve of high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching our plans' expected benefit payments. The expected return on plan assets is based on our asset allocation mix and our historical return, taking into account current and expected market conditions. The actual return on pension assets was approximately 12% in 2021, 9% in 2020 and 15% in 2019. The Company maintains a self-funded health insurance plan for its retirees. This plan provided that the maximum health care cost trend rate would be 5%. Effective June 2010, the Company amended its plan to change the eligibility requirement for retirees and revised its plan so that increases in expected health care costs would be borne by the retiree. Effective January 1, 2022, the plan was closed to new retirees. Accordingly, a $1.6 million curtailment gains was recognized as part of net periodic pension cost for the year ended December 31, 2021. Plan Assets The Company's pension plan weighted average asset allocation percentages at December 31, 2021 and 2020 by asset category are as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 Asset Category Equity securities 54.2 % 55.8 % Fixed income securities 30.6 % 27.8 % Real estate 0.3 % 0.3 % Other 14.9 % 16.1 % Total 100.0 % 100.0 % The Company's pension plan fair values at December 31, 2021 and 2020 by asset category are as follows: December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 Asset Category Equity securities $ 206.7 $ 200.0 Fixed income securities 116.5 99.7 Real estate 1.0 1.0 Other 57.1 57.5 Total $ 381.3 $ 358.2 The following table presents domestic and foreign pension plan assets information at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (the measurement date of pension plan assets): U.S. Plans International Plans (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Fair value of plan assets $ 293.7 $ 271.6 $ 261.5 $ 87.6 $ 86.6 $ 78.5 The following table summarizes our defined benefit pension plan assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs (millions of dollars) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Pension Assets Fair Value as of December 31, 2021 Equity securities US equities $ 182.7 $ — $ — $ 182.7 Non-US equities 24.0 — — 24.0 Fixed income securities Corporate debt instruments 96.4 20.1 — 116.5 Real estate and other Real estate — — 1.0 1.0 Other 0.4 51.7 5.0 57.1 Total assets $ 303.5 $ 71.8 $ 6.0 $ 381.3 The following table summarizes our defined benefit pension plan assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Other Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs (millions of dollars) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Pension Assets Fair Value as of December 31, 2020 Equity securities US equities $ 182.0 $ — $ — $ 182.0 Non-US equities 18.0 — — 18.0 Fixed income securities Corporate debt instruments 80.4 19.3 — 99.7 Real estate and other Real estate — — 1.0 1.0 Other 0.3 49.9 7.3 57.5 Total assets $ 280.7 $ 69.2 $ 8.3 $ 358.2 U.S. equities – Non-U.S. equities – Fixed income – Real Estate and other – Asset classified as Level 1 are valued using quoted prices on major stock exchange on which individual assets are traded. Our Level 2 assets are valued using net asset value. The net asset value is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on the underlying investments that are traded on an active market. Our Level 3 assets are estimated at fair value based on the most recent financial information available for the underlying securities, which are not traded on active market, and represents significant unobservable input. The following is a reconciliation of changes in fair value measurement of plan assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): (millions of dollars) Beginning balance at December 31, 2019 $ 21.0 Purchases, sales, settlements — Actual return on plan assets still held at reporting date (12.8 ) Foreign exchange impact 0.1 Ending balance at December 31, 2020 $ 8.3 Purchases, sales, settlements — Actual return on plan assets still held at reporting date (2.3 ) Foreign exchange impact - Ending balance at December 31, 2021 $ 6.0 There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Contributions The Company expects to contribute $10.1 million to its pension plans and $0.5 million to its other post-retirement benefit plan in 2022. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: (millions of dollars) Pension Benefits Other Benefits 2022 $ 24.1 $ 0.2 2023 $ 25.9 $ 0.2 2024 $ 26.3 $ 0.2 2025 $ 26.1 $ 0.2 2026 $ 26.6 $ 0.2 2027 2031 $ 130.0 $ 0.8 Investment Strategies The investment strategy for pension plan assets is to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio designed to both preserve and grow plan assets to meet future plan obligations. The Company's average rate of return on assets from inception through December 31, 2021 was approximately 10%. The Company’s assets are strategically allocated among equity, debt and other investments to achieve a diversification level that dampens fluctuations in investment returns. The Company’s long-term investment strategy is an investment portfolio mix of approximately 55%-65% in equity securities, 30%-35% in fixed income securities and 0%-15% in other securities. Savings and Investment Plans The Company maintains a voluntary Savings and Investment Plan (a 401(k) plan) for most non-union employees in the U.S. Within prescribed limits, the Company bases its contribution to the Savings and Investment Plan on employee contributions. The Company's contributions amounted to $5.3 million, $5.2 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | Note 17. Contingencies The Company is party to a number of lawsuits arising in the normal course of our business. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are among numerous defendants in a number of cases seeking damages for exposure to silica or to asbestos containing materials. Most of these claims do not provide adequate information to assess their merits, the likelihood that the Company will be found liable, or the magnitude of such liability, if any. We are unable to state an amount or range of amounts claimed in any of the lawsuits because state court pleading practices do not require identifying the amount of the claimed damage. The aggregate cost to the Company for the legal defense of these cases since inception continues to be insignificant. The majority of the costs of defense for these cases, excluding cases against our subsidiaries AMCOL International Corporation or American Colloid Company, which we acquired in 2014, are reimbursed by Pfizer Inc. pursuant to the terms of certain agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in 1992. The Company is entitled to indemnification, pursuant to agreement, for liabilities related to sales prior to the initial public offering. The Company has settled only one silica lawsuit, for a nominal amount, and no asbestos lawsuits to date (not including any that may have been settled by AMCOL or American Colloid prior to completion of the acquisition). At this time, management anticipates that the amount of the Company’s liability, if any, and the cost of defending such claims, will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company and its subsidiaries are not party to any other material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to their businesses. |

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations [Abstract] | |
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations | Note 20. Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records asset retirement obligations in which the Company will be required to retire tangible long-lived assets. These are primarily related to its PCC satellite facilities and mining operations. The Company has also recorded the provisions related to conditional asset retirement obligations at its facilities. The Company has recorded asset retirement obligations at all of its facilities except where there are no contractual or legal obligations. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The following is a reconciliation of asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020: December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 Asset retirement obligation, beginning of period $ 24.1 $ 23.9 Accretion expense 1.9 2.3 Other 1.2 1.1 Payments (2.3 ) (3.4 ) Foreign currency translation (0.5 ) 0.2 Asset retirement obligation, end of period $ 24.4 $ 24.1 The Company mines various minerals using a surface mining process that requires the removal of overburden. In certain areas and under various governmental regulations, the Company is obligated to restore the land comprising each mining site to its original condition at the completion of the mining activity. This liability will be adjusted to reflect the passage of time, mining activities, and changes in estimated future cash outflows. The current portion of the liability of approximately $0.7 million is included in other current liabilities and the long-term portion of the liability of approximately $23.7 million is included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. Accretion expense is included in cost of goods sold in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. |

Segment and Related Information [Abstract] | |
Segment and Related Information | Note 21. Segment and Related Information The Company determines its operating segments based on the discrete financial information that is regularly evaluated by its chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company reorganized the management structure for its Energy Services and Performance Materials operating segments to support MTI's key growth initiatives, more closely align complementary technologies, processes and capabilities, and better reflect the way performance is evaluated and resources are allocated. As a result, Energy Services was combined into the Environmental Products product line within the Performance Materials operating segment. Presented below are the restated financial results for fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019 to conform to the current management structure. The Company's operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and serve different markets. They are managed separately and require different technology and marketing strategies. The Company has three reportable segments: Performance Materials, Specialty Minerals and Refractories. ● The Performance Materials segment is a leading global supplier of bentonite and bentonite-related products and leonardite. This segment also provides products for non-residential construction, environmental and infrastructure projects worldwide, serving customers engaged in a broad range of construction and remediation projects, as well as offers a range of patented and unpatented technologies, products and services to the upstream and downstream oil and gas sector throughout the world. ● The Specialty Minerals segment produces and sells the synthetic mineral product precipitated calcium carbonate ("PCC") and processed mineral product quicklime ("lime"), and mines mineral ores then processes and sells natural mineral products, primarily limestone and talc. ● The Refractories segment produces and markets monolithic and shaped refractory materials and specialty products, services and application and measurement equipment, and calcium metal and metallurgical wire products. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on the operating income of the respective business units. The costs deducted to arrive at operating profit do not include several items, such as net interest or income tax expense. Depreciation expense related to corporate assets is allocated to the business segments and is included in their income from operations. However, such corporate depreciable assets are not included in the segment assets. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. Segment information for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Net Sales Performance Materials $ 976.0 $ 825.8 $ 918.5 Specialty Minerals 578.9 510.9 574.4 Refractories 303.4 258.1 298.1 Total 1,858.3 1,594.8 1,791.0 Income from Operations Performance Materials 125.0 108.8 104.9 Specialty Minerals 72.9 67.8 83.1 Refractories 49.3 35.5 39.8 Total 247.2 212.1 227.8 Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Performance Materials 49.2 47.4 51.0 Specialty Minerals 38.4 39.6 40.4 Refractories 7.0 6.9 7.0 Total 94.6 93.9 98.4 Segment Assets Performance Materials 2,393.2 2,219.1 2,212.7 Specialty Minerals 605.9 559.6 525.1 Refractories 293.1 290.8 293.2 Total 3,292.2 3,069.5 3,031.0 Capital Expenditures Performance Materials 22.0 14.6 21.5 Specialty Minerals 51.7 46.5 37.7 Refractories 9.7 5.5 5.7 Total 83.4 66.6 64.9 A reconciliation of the totals reported for the operating segments to the applicable line items in the consolidated financial statements is as follows: Year Ended December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Income from Operations before Provision for Taxes on Income Income from operations for reportable segments $ 247.2 $ 212.1 $ 227.8 Litigation expenses — (10.4 ) (10.9 ) Acquisition-related expenses (4.0 ) (3.1 ) — Unallocated corporate expenses (7.5 ) (10.7 ) (8.2 ) Consolidated income from operations 235.7 187.9 208.7 Non-operating deductions, net (33.4 ) (49.9 ) (51.4 ) Income from operations before provision for taxes and equity in earnings 202.3 138.0 157.3 Total Assets Total segment assets 3,292.2 3,069.5 3,031.0 Corporate assets 82.0 139.9 81.6 Consolidated total assets 3,374.2 3,209.4 3,112.6 Capital Expenditures Total segment capital expenditures 83.4 66.6 64.9 Corporate capital expenditures 2.6 0.2 0.1 Consolidated capital expenditures 86.0 66.8 65.0 Financial information relating to the Company's operations by geographic area was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (millions of dollars) 2021 2020 2019 Net Sales United States $ 959.6 $ 822.5 $ 962.4 Canada/Latin America 99.8 70.5 80.2 Europe/Africa 441.9 410.0 435.3 Asia 357.0 291.8 313.1 Total International 898.7 772.3 828.6 Consolidated net sales 1,858.3 1,594.8 1,791.0 Long-Lived Assets United States $ 1,925.3 $ 1,723.2 $ 1,742.3 Canada/Latin America 10.6 11.3 13.0 Europe/Africa 151.1 182.9 190.7 Asia 120.6 126.5 117.2 Total International 282.3 320.7 320.9 Consolidated long-lived assets 2,207.6 2,043.9 2,063.2 Net sales and long-lived assets are attributed to countries and geographic areas based on the location of the legal entity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The Company employs accounting policies that are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include those related to revenue recognition, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, pension plan assumptions, income tax, and litigation and environmental liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments | Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments consist of financial instruments, mainly bank deposits, with original maturities beyond three months, but less than twelve months. Short-term investments amounted to $4.9 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no unrealized holding gains and losses on the short-term bank investments held at December 31, 2021. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and specific allowances for bankrupt customers. The Company also analyzes the collection history and financial condition of its other customers, considering current industry conditions and determines whether an allowance needs to be established. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days based on payment terms are reviewed individually for collectability. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $15.0 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Additionally, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, freight handling costs, and re-handling costs are recognized as current period charges. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion are based upon the normal capacity of the production facility. Fixed overhead costs associated with idle capacity are expensed as incurred. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes interest cost as a component of construction in progress. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for substantially all of the assets for financial reporting purposes, except for mining related equipment which uses units-of-production method. The annual rates of depreciation are 3% - 6.67% for buildings, 6.67% - 12.5% for machinery and equipment, 8% - 12.5% for furniture and fixtures and 12.5% - 25% for computer equipment and software-related assets. The estimated useful lives of our PCC production facilities and machinery and equipment pertaining to our natural stone mining and processing plants and our chemical plants are 15 years. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets can generate revenue, which does not necessarily coincide with the remaining term of a customer's contractual obligation to purchase products made using those assets. The Company's sales of PCC are predominantly pursuant to long-term evergreen contracts, initially ten years in length, with paper mills at which the Company operates satellite PCC plants. The terms of many of these agreements have been extended, often in connection with an expansion of the satellite PCC plant. Failure of a PCC customer to renew an agreement or continue to purchase PCC from a Company facility could result in an impairment of assets charge or accelerated depreciation at such facility. Depletion of mineral reserves is determined on a unit-of-extraction basis for financial reporting purposes, based upon proven and probable reserves, and generally on a percentage depletion basis for tax purposes. |
Stripping Costs Incurred During Production | Stripping Costs Incurred During Production Stripping costs are those costs incurred for the removal of waste materials for the purpose of accessing ore body that will be produced commercially. Stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable costs that are included in the costs of inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. |
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest), resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, determined principally using discounted cash flows. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead assessed for impairment. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated lives to the estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The Company performs a qualitative assessment for each of its reporting units to determine if the two-step process for impairment testing is required. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would then evaluate the recoverability of goodwill using a two-step impairment test approach at the reporting unit level. In the first step, the fair value for the reporting unit is compared to its book value including goodwill. In the case that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than book value, a second step is performed which compares the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to the book value of the goodwill. The fair value for the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair values of the reporting unit and the net fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of such reporting unit. If the fair value of the goodwill is less than the book value, the difference is recognized as impairment. In addition to the assessment of goodwill impairment, the Company also reviews its other identifiable intangibles for impairment. Each year, the Company reviews whether events or changes in circumstances could indicate that a long-lived asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. Should such events occur, the value of intangibles not recoverable would be recognized as impairment. |
Investment in Joint Ventures | Investment in Joint Ventures The Company uses the equity method of accounting to incorporate the results of its investments in companies in which it has significant influence but does not control; and cost method of accounting in companies in which it cannot exercise significant control. The Company records the equity in earnings of its investments in joint ventures on a one-month lag. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the book value of the Company’s equity method investments was $17.5 million and $17.0 million. |
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations | Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations The Company provides for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company also provides for legal obligations to perform asset retirement activities where timing or methods of settlement are conditional on future events. The Company also records liabilities related to land reclamation as a part of the asset retirement obligations. The Company mines land for various minerals using a surface-mining process that requires the removal of overburden. In many instances, the Company is obligated to restore the land upon completion of the mining activity. As the overburden is removed, the Company recognizes this liability for land reclamation based on the estimated fair value of the obligation. The obligation is adjusted to reflect the passage of time and changes in estimated future cash outflows. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued interest, and variable-rate long-term debt approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments or the variable nature of underlying interest rates. Short-term investments are recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company records derivative financial instruments which are used to hedge certain foreign exchange risk at fair value on the balance sheet. See Note 12 for a full description of the Company's hedging activities and related accounting policies. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from the sale of products. Our primary performance obligation is satisfied upon shipment or delivery to our customer based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenues from sales of equipment are recorded upon completion of installation and transfer of control to the customer. Revenue where our performance obligations are satisfied in phases is recognized over time using certain input measures based on the measurement of the value transferred to the customer, including milestones achieved. Revenues from services are recorded when the services are performed. In most of our PCC contracts, the price per ton is based upon the total number of tons sold to the customer during the year. Under those contracts, the price billed to the customer for shipments during the year is based on periodic estimates of the total annual volume that will be sold to the customer. Revenues are adjusted at the end of each year to reflect the actual volume sold. There were no significant revenue adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have consignment arrangements with certain customers in our Refractories segment. Revenues for these transactions are recorded when the consigned products are consumed by the customer. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The assets and liabilities of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the respective balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. Income statement items are generally translated at monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. International subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies translate non-monetary assets at historical rates, while net monetary assets are translated at current rates, with the resulting translation adjustments included in net income. At December 31, 2021, the Company had no international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within the U.S. and outside the U.S. In certain situations, a taxing authority may challenge positions that the Company has adopted in its income tax filings. The Company regularly assesses its tax position for such transactions and includes reserves for those differences in position. The reserves are utilized or reversed once the statute of limitations has expired or the matter is otherwise resolved. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in our subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations. The Company's accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties as part of its provision for income taxes. See Note 8 for additional detail on our uncertain tax positions. The accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for foreign withholding taxes on international subsidiaries' unremitted earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested overseas. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards based upon the grant date fair value over the vesting period. |
Pension and Post-retirement Benefits | Pension and Post-retirement Benefits The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of its employees. The benefits are generally based on years of service and an employee's modified career earnings. The Company also provides post-retirement healthcare benefits for the majority of its retirees and employees in the United States. The Company measures the costs of its obligation based on its best estimate. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the post-retirement benefits. |
Environmental | Environmental Expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable the Company will be obligated to pay amounts for environmental site evaluation, remediation or related costs, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period assuming the issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated for subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. Adoption of In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes", to simplify the accounting for income taxes and improve consistent application by clarifying or amending existing guidance. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Adoption of In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Investments - Equity Securities, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Derivatives and Hedging", which addresses the accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and measuring certain purchased options and forward contracts to acquire investments. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
