The new guidance, among other things, states that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting, for the purposes of applying the fair value measurement alternative immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The new guidance also addresses the measurement of certain purchased options and forward contracts used to acquire investments. The guidance within this accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance and is currently evaluating its implementation. </span></p><p style="margin-top: 4.00pt; margin-bottom: 4.00pt; text-indent: 0.13in; text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt">The FASB issued an accounting standard update in December 2019 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance within this accounting standard update removes certain exceptions, including the exception to the incremental approach for certain intra-period tax allocations, to the requirement to recognize or not recognize certain deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries, and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Further, the guidance simplifies the accounting related to franchise taxes, the step up in tax basis for goodwill, current and deferred tax expense, and codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not early adopted the guidance and is currently evaluating its implementation.</span></p><p style="margin-top: 4.00pt; margin-bottom: 4.00pt; text-indent: 0.13in; text-align: left"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 10.00pt">The FASB issued an accounting standard update in August 2018 that modifies certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this accounting standard update remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and add new disclosure requirements as relevant. The guidance within this accounting standard update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.

This guidance generally aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement under a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs related to internal-use software. The guidance within this accounting standard update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted.

The guidance removes certain disclosure requirements regarding transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as well as certain disclosures related to the valuation processes for certain fair value measurements. Further, the guidance added certain disclosure requirements including unrealized gains and losses and significant unobservable inputs used to develop certain fair value measurements. The guidance within this accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and may be applied prospectively in the initial year of adoption or retrospectively to all periods presented, depending on the amended disclosure requirement.

In May 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to provide targeted transition relief to increase comparability of financial statements. The guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments, including customer accounts receivable, based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The guidance within this accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and aspects of the guidance which may be applicable to the Company should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.

CY2019	kwr	Director Stock Ownership Cash Retainer DirectorStockOwnershipCashRetainer	In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Director Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”), to encourage the Directors to increase their investment in the Company, which was approved at the Company’s May 2013 shareholders’ meeting. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 75,000 shares of Quaker common stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan in payment of all or a portion of the annual cash retainer payable to each of the Company’s non-employee directors in 2013 and subsequent years during the term of the Plan. Under the Plan, each director who, on May 1 of the applicable calendar year, owns less than 400% of the annual cash retainer for the applicable calendar year, divided by the average of the closing price of a share of Quaker Common Stock as reported by the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange for the previous calendar year (the “Threshold Amount”), is required to receive 75% of the annual cash retainer in Quaker common stock and 25% of the retainer in cash, unless the director elects to receive a greater percentage of Quaker common stock, up to 100% of the annual cash retainer for the applicable year. Each director who owns more than the Threshold Amount may elect to receive common stock in payment of a percentage (up to 100%) of the annual cash retainer. The annual retainer is $0.1 million and the retainer payment date is June 1.

CY2019	us-gaap	Subsequent Event Description SubsequentEventDescription	On March 17, 2020, the Company, the administrative agent, and certain other parties entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility requires the Company to deliver to the administrative agent and each lender the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company at the end of each fiscal year. Without having obtained the Amendment, failing to observe this financial statements covenant by March 17, 2020 with respect to the Company’s financial statements for 2019 would have been an event of default under the New Credit Facility, thereby entitling the administrative agent and the lenders to accelerate the payment of the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, among other remedies. The Amendment extends the delivery dates for the foregoing financial statements to April 16, 2020.

As payments from the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan for this cash out offering exceeded the service and interest cost components of the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a settlement charge of approximately $1.9 million. This settlement charge represented the immediate recognition into expense of a portion of the unrecognized loss within AOCI on the balance sheet in proportion to the share of the projected benefit obligation that was settled by these payments. The gross pension benefit obligation was reduced by approximately $4.0 million as a result of these payments.

Initial investigations identified soil and ground water contamination in select areas of the site. The site has conducted a multi-year soil and groundwater investigation and corresponding risk assessments based on the result of the investigations. In 2017, the site had to submit a new 5-year permit renewal request and was asked to complete additional investigations to further delineate the site based on review of the technical data by the local regulatory agency, Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (“CETESB”). Based on review of the updated investigation data, CETESB issued a Technical Opinion regarding the investigation and remedial actions taken to date. The site developed an action plan and submitted it to CETESB in 2018 based on CETESB requirements. The site intervention plan primarily requires the site, amongst other actions, to conduct periodic monitoring for methane in soil vapors, source zone delineation, groundwater plume delineation, bedrock aquifer assessment, update the human health risk assessment, develop a current site conceptual model and conduct a remedial feasibility study and provide a revised intervention plan. In December 2019, the site submitted a report on the activities completed including the revised site conceptual model and results of the remedial feasibility study and recommended remedial strategy for the site.
