Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information
Segment Information 
Segment sales include transfers to another business segment. Segment pre-tax operating income (loss) (PTOI) is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes excluding non-operating pension and other postretirement employee benefit costs, exchange gains (losses), corporate expenses and interest.

The earnings from the previous Pharmaceuticals segment are expected to be insignificant in 2014 and therefore, effective January 1, 2014, the results are reported within Other. Reclassifications of prior year data have been made to conform to current year classifications.
