Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman" or the "Company") in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K , and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of that report, with the exception of recently adopted accounting standards noted below. The December 31, 2020 financial position data included herein was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair statement of the interim financial information in conformity with GAAP. These statements contain some amounts that are based upon management estimates and judgments. Future actual results could differ from such current estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, sales revenue, and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which a controlling interest is maintained. Eastman accounts for other joint ventures and investments where it exercises significant influence on the equity basis. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform to current period presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes : On January 1, 2021, Eastman adopted this update which is a part of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. Adoption methods varied based on the specific tax items impacted. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2020-01 Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815: On January 1, 2021, Eastman prospectively adopted this update which provides clarification that an entity should consider observable transactions that require the application or discontinuance of the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative and clarification that certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities that, upon settlement, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) : In January 2021, the FASB issued this update to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions under this topic for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform (the global financial markets transition in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions away from referencing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates and toward new reference rates). This update was effective immediately upon release. As the Company has not experienced any reference rate reform modification to date, this update will be adopted on a prospective basis in the event of such modifications. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 2021 None applicable to Eastman.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Eastman had $256 million and $257 million, respectively, in unrecognized tax benefits. At March 31, 2021, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of the resolution of federal, state, and foreign examinations and appeals, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next 12 months by up to $70 million. Income tax incentives, in the form of tax holidays, have been granted to the Company in certain jurisdictions to attract investment and encourage industrial development. The expiration of these tax holidays varies by country. The tax holidays are conditional on the Company meeting certain requirements, including employment and investment thresholds; determination of compliance with these conditions may be subject to challenge by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. No individual tax holiday had a material impact to the Company's earnings in first quarter 2021 or 2020.

The carrying value of these euro-denominated borrowings have been designated as non-derivative net investment hedges of a portion of the Company's net investments in euro functional-currency denominated subsidiaries to offset foreign currency fluctuations. Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Borrowings The Company has access to a $1.50 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") expiring October 2023. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to interest at varying spreads above quoted market rates and a commitment fee is paid on the total unused commitment. The Credit Facility provides available liquidity for general corporate purposes and supports commercial paper borrowings. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2021, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $25 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent. At December 31, 2020, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $50 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.25 percent. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, that determine the events of default, amounts available, and terms of borrowings. In second quarter 2020, the Company amended the Credit Facility maximum debt covenants to reflect the higher cash balance to enhance liquidity due to, and the expected negative impact on operating results of, the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic ("COVID-19") and added a new restrictive covenant prohibiting stock repurchases until June 30, 2021 in the event certain financial ratios are exceeded. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Fair Value of Borrowings Eastman has classified its total borrowings at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 under the fair value hierarchy as defined in the accounting policies in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K . The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. The fair value for the Company's other borrowings, primarily under commercial paper, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of total borrowings was $6.153 billion and $6.449 billion, respectively. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES	DERIVATIVE AND NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Overview of Hedging Programs Eastman is exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. To mitigate these market risks and their effects on the cash flows of the underlying transactions and investments in foreign subsidiaries, the Company uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, when appropriate, in accordance with the Company's hedging strategy and policies. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. For further information on hedging programs, see Note 9, "Derivative and Non-Derivative Financial Instruments", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K . Cash Flow Hedges Cash flow hedges are derivative instruments designated as and used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk. The derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge are reported on the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the anticipated cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The change in the hedge instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") located in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from cash flow hedges are classified as operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In first, second, and third quarters 2020, Eastman entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $25 million in each period to mitigate the risk of variability in interest rates for an expected long-term debt issuance by August 2022. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and will be settled upon debt issuance. The total outstanding forward starting swaps as of March 31, 2021 was $75 million. Fair Value Hedges Fair value hedges are defined as derivative or non-derivative instruments designated as and used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk. The derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in fair value of these hedging instruments are offset in part or in whole by corresponding changes in the anticipated fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The net of the change in the hedge instrument and item being hedged for qualifying fair value hedges is recognized in earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from fair value hedges are classified as operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Net Investment Hedges Net investment hedges are defined as derivative or non-derivative instruments designated as and used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the net investments in certain foreign operations. The net of the change in the hedge instrument and item being hedged for qualifying net investment hedges is reported as a component of the "Cumulative Translation Adjustment" ("CTA") within AOCI in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Cash flows from the CTA component are classified as operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recognized in CTA is limited to circumstances such as complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment in the hedged foreign operation. In the event of a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the net investment, cash flows from net investment hedges are classified as investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For derivative cross-currency interest rate swap net investment hedges, gains and losses representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in CTA within AOCI and recognized in earnings through the periodic swap interest accruals. The cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as net investment hedges are included as part of "Other long-term liabilities", "Other noncurrent assets", "Payables and other current liabilities", or "Other current assets" within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Cash flows from excluded components are classified as operating activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In September 2020, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps and designated these swaps to hedge a portion of its net investment in a euro functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed euro interest payments periodically over the life of the contracts and an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps include €152 million ($180 million) maturing December 2028. Summary of Financial Position and Financial Performance of Hedging Ins truments The following table presents the notional amounts outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 associated with Eastman's hedging programs. Notional Outstanding March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges: Foreign Exchange Forward and Option Contracts (in millions) EUR/USD (in EUR) €483 €521 Commodity Forward and Collar Contracts Energy (in million british thermal units) 9 17 Interest rate swaps for the future issuance of debt (in millions) $75 $75 Derivatives designated as fair value hedges: Fixed-for-floating interest rate swaps (in millions) $75 $75 Derivatives designated as net investment hedges: Cross-currency interest rate swaps (in millions) EUR/USD (in EUR) €853 €853 Non-derivatives designated as net investment hedges: Foreign Currency Net Investment Hedges (in millions) EUR/USD (in EUR) €1,245 €1,245 Fair Value Measurements All the Company's derivative assets and liabilities are currently classified as Level 2. Level 2 fair value is based on estimates using standard pricing models. These standard pricing models use inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rate yield curves and currency spot and forward rates. The fair value of commodity contracts is derived using forward curves supplied by an industry recognized and unrelated third party. In addition, on an ongoing basis, the Company tests a subset of its valuations against valuations received from transaction counterparties to validate the accuracy of its standard pricing models. The Company had no derivatives classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Counterparties to these derivative contracts are highly rated financial institutions which the Company believes carry minimal risk of nonperformance, and the Company diversifies its positions among such counterparties to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk and credit losses. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of its counterparties on an ongoing basis. The Company did not recognize a credit loss during first quarter 2021 or 2020. All the Company's derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements, or similar agreements, which provide for the option to settle contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day and in the same currency. In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event. The Company does not have any cash collateral due under such agreements. The Company has elected to present derivative contracts on a gross basis within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities valued on a recurring and gross basis and includes where the financial assets and liabilities are within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

These derivatives are not designated as hedges due to the short-term nature and the gains or losses on these derivatives are marked-to-market in line item "Other (income) charges, net" of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings. As a result of these derivatives, the Company recognized a net gain of $5 million and $7 million during first quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively. Pre-tax monetized positions and mark-to-market gains and losses from raw materials and energy, currency, and certain interest rate hedges that were included in AOCI included net losses of $129 million and $270 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Losses in AOCI decreased between March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of a decrease in foreign currency exchange rates associated with the euro. If recognized, approximately $17 million in pre-tax losses, as of March 31, 2021, would be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments Disclosure [Text Block]	LEASES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS Leases There are two types of leases: finance and operating. Both types of leases have associated right-to-use assets and lease liabilities that are valued at the present value of the lease payments and recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The discount rate used in the measurement of a right-to-use asset and lease liability is the rate implicit in the lease whenever that rate is readily determinable. If the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the collateralized incremental borrowing rate is used. The Company elected the accounting policy not to apply the recognition and measurement requirements to short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less and do not include a bargain purchase option. The Company has operating leases, as a lessee, with customary terms that do not include: significant variable lease payments; significant reasonably certain extensions or options required to be included in the lease term; restrictions; or other covenants for real property, rolling stock, and machinery and equipment. Real property leases primarily consist of office space and rolling stock leases primarily for railcars and fleet vehicles. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, operating right-to-use assets of $177 million and $185 million, respectively, are included as a part of "Other noncurrent assets" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and includes $9 million at both periods of assets previously classified as lease intangibles and $8 million and $9 million of prepaid lease assets, respectively. Operating lease liabilities are included as a part of "Payables and other current liabilities" and "Other long-term liabilities" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of March 31, 2021, reconciliation of lease payments and operating lease liabilities is provided below: (Dollars in millions) Operating lease liabilities Remainder of 2021 $ 46 2022 47 2023 33 2024 19 2025 12 2026 and beyond 28 Total lease payments 185 Less: amounts of lease payments representing interest 16 Present value of future lease payments 169 Less: current obligations under leases 55 Long-term lease obligations $ 114 The Company has operating leases, primarily leases for railcars, with terms that require the Company to guarantee a portion of the residual value of the leased assets upon termination of the lease that will expire beginning second quarter 2021. Residual guarantee payments that become probable and estimable are recognized as rent expense over the remaining life of the applicable lease. Management's current expectation is that the likelihood of material residual guarantee payments is remote. Lease costs during the period and other information is provided below: First Quarter (Dollars in millions) 2021 2020 Lease costs: Operating lease costs $ 18 $ 19 Short-term lease costs 8 9 Sublease income (1) (1) Total $ 25 $ 27 Other operating lease information: Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities $ 17 $ 18 Right-to-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities $ 8 $ 16 Weighted-average remaining lease term, in years 5 5 Weighted-average discount rate 3.5 % 3.9 % Other Commitments Supplier Purchase Obligations The Company had various purchase obligations at March 31, 2021, totaling approximately $3.1 billion over a period of approximately 30 years for materials, supplies, and energy incident to the ordinary conduct of business. Guarantees Guarantees and claims also arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, and other parties when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events occur. Non-performance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. The Company's current guarantees relate to intellectual property, environmental matters, and other indemnifications and have arisen through the normal course of business. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of these claims, if they were to occur. These guarantees have terms up to 30 years with maximum potential future payments of approximately $25 million in the aggregate, with none of these guarantees being individually significant to the Company's operating results, financial position, or liquidity. Management's current expectation is that future payment or performance related to non-performance under guarantees is remote.

Accrual for Environmental Loss Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Environmental Matters	ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS Certain Eastman manufacturing facilities generate hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, the treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal of which are regulated by various governmental agencies. In connection with the cleanup of various hazardous waste sites, the Company, along with many other entities, has been designated a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, which potentially subjects PRPs to joint and several liability for certain cleanup costs. In addition, the Company will incur costs for environmental remediation and closure and post-closure under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Reserves for environmental contingencies have been established in accordance with Eastman's policies described in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K . The resolution of uncertainties related to environmental matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations in the period recognized. However, because of the availability of legal defenses, the Company's preliminary assessment of actions that may be required, and the extended period of time that the obligations are expected to be satisfied, management does not believe that the Company's liability for these environmental matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's future liquidity or financial position. The Company's net reserve for environmental contingencies was $282 million and $285 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Environmental Remediation and Environmental Asset Retirement Obligations The Company's net environmental reserve for environmental contingencies, including remediation costs and asset retirement obligations, is included as part of "Other noncurrent assets", "Payables and other current liabilities", and "Other long-term liabilities" in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as follows: (Dollars in millions) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Environmental contingencies, current $ 15 $ 15 Environmental contingencies, long-term 267 270 Total $ 282 $ 285 Environmental Remediation Estimated future environmental expenditures for undiscounted remediation costs ranged from the best estimate or minimum of $255 million to the maximum of $497 million and from the best estimate or minimum of $257 million to the maximum of $501 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The best estimate or minimum estimated future environmental expenditures are considered to be probable and reasonably estimable and include the amounts recognized at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Reserves for environmental remediation include liabilities expected to be paid within approximately 30 years. The amounts charged to pre-tax earnings for environmental remediation and related charges are included within "Cost of sales" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings. Changes in the reserves for environmental remediation liabilities during first three months 2021 and full year 2020 are summarized below: (Dollars in millions) Environmental Remediation Liabilities Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 260 Changes in estimates recognized in earnings and other 7 Cash reductions (10) Balance at December 31, 2020 257 Changes in estimates recognized in earnings and other 1 Cash reductions (3) Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 255 Environmental Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation is an obligation for the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of that long-lived asset. Environmental asset retirement obligations consist of primarily closure and post-closure costs. For sites that have environmental asset retirement obligations, the best estimate recognized to date for these environmental asset retirement obligation costs was $27 million and $28 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Non-Environmental Asset Retirement Obligations The Company has contractual asset retirement obligations not associated with environmental liabilities. Eastman's non-environmental asset retirement obligations are primarily associated with the future closure of leased manufacturing assets at Pace, Florida and Oulu, Finland. These recognized non-environmental asset retirement obligations were $51 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and is included as part of "Other long-term liabilities" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS	3 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS The Company utilizes share-based awards under employee and non-employee director compensation programs. These share-based awards have included restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and performance shares. In first quarter 2021 and 2020, $22 million and $15 million, respectively, of compensation expense before tax were recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings for all share-based awards of which $4 million and $3 million, respectively, was for stock options. The compensation expense is recognized over the substantive vesting period, which may be shorter time period than the stated vesting period for qualifying termination eligible employees as defined in the award notices. For first quarter 2021 and 2020, $2 million and $1 million, respectively, of stock option compensation expense was recognized due to qualifying termination eligibility preceding the requisite service period. The impact on first quarter 2021 and 2020 net earnings of $17 million and $11 million, respectively, is net of deferred tax expense related to share-based award compensation for each period. Stock Option Grants In first quarter 2021 and 2020, the number of stock options granted under the 2017 Omnibus Stock Compensation Plan was approximately 450 thousand and 622 thousand, respectively. Options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The term of options is 10 years with vesting periods that vary up to three years. Vesting usually occurs ratably over the vesting period or at the end of the vesting period. The Company utilizes the Black Scholes Merton option valuation model which relies on certain assumptions to estimate an option's fair value. The assumptions used in the determination of fair value for stock options granted in first quarter 2021 and 2020 are provided in the table below: First Quarter Assumptions 2021 2020 Expected volatility rate 28.99% 21.56% Expected dividend yield 3.58% 3.30% Average risk-free interest rate 0.95% 0.94% Expected term years 6.0 5.9 The grant date exercise price and fair value of options granted during first quarter 2021 were $109.26 and $19.81, respectively, and first quarter 2020 were $61.51 and $7.92, respectively. For options unvested at March 31, 2021, $7 million in compensation expense will be recognized over the next three years. Other Share-Based Compensation Awards In addition to stock option grants, the Company has awarded long-term performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. The long-term performance share awards are based upon actual return on capital compared to a target return on capital and total stockholder return compared to a peer group ranking by total stockholder return over a three year performance period and pay out in unrestricted shares of common stock at the end of the performance period. The awards are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation based model and vest pro-ratably over the three year performance period. The number of long-term performance share target awards during first quarter 2021 and 2020 for the 2021-2023 and 2020-2022 periods were approximately 311 thousand and 423 thousand, respectively. The target shares awarded are assumed to be 100 percent. At the end of the three-year performance period, the actual number of shares awarded can range from zero to 250 percent of the target shares based on the award notice. The number of restricted stock unit awards, which pay out in unrestricted shares of common stock at the end of the vesting and performance (if any) period, during first quarter 2021 and 2020 were approximately 109 thousand and 123 thousand, respectively. The fair value of a restricted stock unit award is equal to the closing stock price of the Company's stock on the award date and normally vests over a period of three years. In first quarter 2021 and 2020, $18 million and $12 million, respectively, was recognized as compensation expense before tax for these other share-based awards and was included in the total compensation expense noted above for all share-based awards. The unrecognized compensation expense before tax for these same type awards at March 31, 2021 was approximately $90 million and will be recognized primarily over a period of three years. For additional information regarding share-based compensation plans and awards, see Note 17, "Share-Based Compensation Plans and Awards", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman" or the "Company") in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company's 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K , and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of that report, with the exception of recently adopted accounting standards noted below. The December 31, 2020 financial position data included herein was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes : On January 1, 2021, Eastman adopted this update which is a part of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. Adoption methods varied based on the specific tax items impacted. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2020-01 Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815: On January 1, 2021, Eastman prospectively adopted this update which provides clarification that an entity should consider observable transactions that require the application or discontinuance of the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative and clarification that certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities that, upon settlement, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The adoption of this standard did not result in a material impact to the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) : In January 2021, the FASB issued this update to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions under this topic for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform (the global financial markets transition in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions away from referencing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates and toward new reference rates). This update was effective immediately upon release. As the Company has not experienced any reference rate reform modification to date, this update will be adopted on a prospective basis in the event of such modifications. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 2021 None applicable to Eastman.
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposure, Policy	Working Capital Management and Off Balance Sheet ArrangementsThe Company has an off balance sheet, uncommitted accounts receivable factoring program under which entire invoices may be sold, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Under these agreements, the Company sells the invoices at face value, less a transaction fee, which substantially equals the carrying value and fair value with no gain or loss recognized, and no credit loss exposure is retained. Available capacity under these agreements, which the Company uses as a routine source of working capital funding, is dependent on the level of accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institutions' willingness to purchase such receivables. In addition, certain agreements also require that the Company continue to service, administer, and collect the sold accounts receivable at market rates. The total amounts sold in first quarter 2021 and 2020 were $289 million and $457 million, respectively.
