	us-gaap	Restructuring And Related Cost Description RestructuringAndRelatedCostDescription	As previously disclosed in its 2019 Form 10-K, in the third quarter of 2019, the Company’s management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its plan to realize certain cost synergies associated with the Combination. The QH Program includes restructuring and associated severance costs to reduce total headcount by approximately 350 people globally, as well as plans for the closure of certain manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities. The exact timing and total costs associated with the QH Program will depend on a number of factors and is subject to change; however, the Company currently expects reduction in headcount and site closures to continue to occur during 2020 and into 2021 under the QH Program and estimates that anticipated cost synergies realized from the QH Program will approximate one-times the restructuring costs incurred. Employee separation benefits will vary depending on local regulations within certain foreign countries and will include severance and other benefits.

	us-gaap	Defined Benefit Plan Description Of Nature Of Event Resulting In Special Or Contractual Termination Benefits Recognized During Period DefinedBenefitPlanDescriptionOfNatureOfEventResultingInSpecialOrContractualTerminationBenefitsRecognizedDuringPeriod	In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company began the process of terminating its Legacy Quaker non-contributory U.S. pension plan (“Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan”). During the third quarter of 2019, the Company received a favorable termination determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“I.R.S.”) and amended the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan to comply with final regulations of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company completed the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan termination during the first quarter of 2020. In order to terminate the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan in accordance with I.R.S. and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation requirements, the Company was required to fully fund the Legacy Quaker U.S. Pension Plan on a termination basis and the amount necessary to do so was approximately $1.8 million, subject to final true up adjustments. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company finalized the amount of the liability and related annuity payments and received a refund in premium of approximately $1.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge at plan termination of approximately $22.7 million. This settlement charge included the immediate recognition into expense of the related unrecognized losses within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the balance sheet as of the plan termination date.
