| 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 2024 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, 2024 financial position data included herein was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 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 the fair presentation 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, revenues, and expenses of business ventures in which Eastman has a controlling interest. 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. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-05 Business Combination - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement: On January 1, 2025, Eastman adopted this update, which requires that a joint venture must initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value, largely consistent with Topic 805, Business Combinations. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is applied prospectively for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: On January 1, 2025, Eastman adopted this update on a prospective basis, which modifies annual income tax disclosure requirements. The updated guidance mandates entities to provide more detailed information including specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, and the breakdown of income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, for both domestic and foreign. Additionally, entities must disclose income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations, categorized by federal, state, and foreign taxes. The guidance further requires disclosure of income tax payments to various jurisdictions. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 2025 ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued this update in November 2024, which requires public companies to provide additional disclosure of certain income statement expense line items. This guidance is intended to improve transparency around the nature of expenses and their impact on financial performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. Working Capital Management and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company engages in off-balance sheet, uncommitted accounts receivable factoring programs as a routine part of its ordinary business operations. Through these programs, entire invoices may be sold to third-party financial institutions, the vast majority of which are without recourse. 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 programs, 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 programs also require that the Company continue to service, administer, and collect the sold accounts receivable at market rates. The total amounts sold under the program in first quarter 2025 and 2024 were $676 million and $698 million, respectively. The Company works with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions on accounts payable to enhance timing of working capital and cash flows. Under a supplier finance program, the Company's suppliers may voluntarily sell receivables due from Eastman to a participating financial institution. Eastman's responsibility is limited to making payments on the terms originally negotiated with suppliers, regardless of whether the suppliers sell their receivables to the financial institution. The range of payment terms Eastman negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. No fees are paid by Eastman for the supplier finance program or services fees. Eastman or the financial institution may terminate the program at any time upon 90 days' notice. Confirmed obligations in the supplier finance program of $67 million and $56 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are included in "Payables and other current liabilities" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

| Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | BORROWINGS
(1)The carrying value of the euro-denominated 1.875% notes due November 2026 fluctuates with changes in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The carrying value of this euro-denominated borrowing has been designated as a non-derivative net investment hedge of a portion of the Company's net investments in euro functional-currency denominated subsidiaries to offset foreign currency fluctuations. In first quarter 2025, the Company issued an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.0% notes due August 2029 in a registered public offering (the "2029 Notes"), which was originally issued in August 2024, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The net proceeds from first quarter 2025 issuance were $246 million. The Company also repaid the $450 million 3.80% notes due March 2025. There were no debt extinguishment costs associated with the repayment of this debt. All proceeds from the issued notes and the redemption of the 3.8% notes are reported under financing activities on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Credit Facility, Term Loans, and Commercial Paper Borrowings The Company has access to a $1.50 billion revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") that matures in February 2029. 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 includes sustainability-linked pricing terms, provides available liquidity for general corporate purposes, and supports commercial paper borrowings. Commercial paper borrowings are classified as short-term. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2025, the Company's commercial paper borrowings were $285 million with a weighted interest rate of 4.61%. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no commercial paper borrowings. In first quarter 2025, the Company repaid $100 million of the remaining $250 million five-year term loan (the "2027 Term Loan"). There were no extinguishment costs associated with the partial repayment of the loan. The outstanding balance on the 2027 Term Loan was $150 million at March 31, 2025 and $250 million at December 31, 2024, with variable interest rates of 5.55% and 5.58%, respectively. The 2027 Term Loan is subject to interest at a spread above quoted market rates. The Credit Facility and the 2027 Term Loan contain customary covenants, including requirements to maintain certain financial ratios, that determine the events of default, amounts available, and terms of borrowings. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Fair Value of Borrowings Eastman has classified its total borrowings at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 2024 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 of the Company's other borrowings, including the 2027 Term Loan and commercial paper, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2. The Company's fair value of total borrowings was $4.9 billion at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company had no borrowings classified as Level 1 or Level 3 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

| 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, raw material and energy 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 the Company's hedging programs, see Note 10, "Derivative and Non-Derivative Financial Instruments", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2024 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") on 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. 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 reported as "Short-term borrowings" or "Long-term borrowings" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position 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 on 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" on 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. Eastman enters into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps and designates these swaps to hedge a portion of its net investment in a non-U.S. dollar functional currency denominated subsidiary against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts involve the exchange of fixed U.S. dollars with fixed foreign currency interest payments periodically over the life of the contracts and an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. In first quarter 2025, the Company entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps of $50 million (¥7.9 billion) maturing December 2028, $50 million (€48 million) maturing December 2028, $100 million (€97 million) maturing August 2029, and $100 million (€97 million) maturing February 2034. Additionally, Eastman voluntarily terminated and reentered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps of $245 million (€229 million terminated; €236 million reentered) maturing December 2028, and $300 million (€282 million terminated; €290 million reentered) maturing March 2033. The Company also voluntarily terminated fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps of $50 million (¥7.4 billion) maturing March 2025, and $375 million (€351 million) maturing March 2025. The termination of cross-currency swaps in first quarter 2025 resulted in a $2 million loss recognized in CTA. The related cash flows were classified as investing activities in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Summary of Financial Position and Financial Performance of Hedging Instruments The following table presents the notional amounts outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 associated with Eastman's hedging programs.
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 compares a subset of its valuations against valuations received from the counterparties to validate the accuracy of its standard pricing models. The Company had no derivatives classified as Level 1 or Level 3 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 realize a credit loss related to these counterparties during first quarter 2025 or 2024. 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 located within the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
In addition to the fair value associated with derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, and net investment hedges, the Company had a carrying value of $539 million at March 31, 2025 and $518 million at December 31, 2024 associated with non-derivative instruments designated as foreign currency net investment hedges. The designated foreign currency-denominated borrowings are included as part of "Borrowings due within one year" and "Long-term borrowings" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. For additional fair value measurement information, see Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", and Note 10, "Derivative and Non-Derivative Financial Instruments", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table presents the effect of the Company's hedging instruments on "Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax" ("OCI") and financial performance for first quarter 2025 and 2024.
The following table presents the effect of fair value and cash flow hedge accounting in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings for first quarter 2025 and 2024.
The Company enters into foreign exchange derivatives denominated in multiple currencies which are transacted and settled in the same quarter. 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" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings. As a result of these derivatives, the Company recognized a net gain of $3 million during first quarter 2025, and recognized a net loss of $5 million during first quarter 2024. 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 resulted in a net unrealized gain of $75 million and a net unrealized gain of $154 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unrealized gains in AOCI decreased between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates. If realized, approximately $6 million in pre-tax losses as of March 31, 2025, would be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months, including foreign exchange contracts prospectively dedesignated and monetized in 2024.

| Accrual for Environmental Loss Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Environmental Matters | ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS Certain Eastman manufacturing facilities generate hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, of which the treatment, storage, transportation, and disposal 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 2024 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 financial statements and related disclosures 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 overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 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" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as follows:
Environmental Remediation Estimated future environmental expenditures for undiscounted remediation costs ranged from $250 million to $503 million and from $252 million to $495 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The best estimate or minimum estimated future environmental expenditures are considered to be probable and reasonably estimable. 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 recognized in "Cost of sales" and "Other (income) charges, net" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings. Changes in the reserves for environmental remediation liabilities during first three months 2025 and full year 2024 are summarized below:
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 primarily consist of 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 $32 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 in Pace, Florida and Oulu, Finland. These non-environmental asset retirement obligations were $54 million and $53 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in "Other long-term liabilities" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

| LEGAL MATTERS | LEGAL MATTERS From time to time, Eastman and its operations are parties to, or targets of, lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, personal injury, asbestos, patent and intellectual property, commercial, contract, environmental, antitrust, health and safety, and employment matters, which are primarily handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. 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.

Shares underlying stock options of 1,716,564 and 1,583,247 for first quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted EPS because the grant date exercise price of these options was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and the effect of including them in the calculations of diluted EPS would have been antidilutive. No shares were repurchased in first quarter 2025 or 2024. The Company declared cash dividends of $0.83 and $0.81 per share for first quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively.

| SHARE BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS [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 2025 and 2024, $23 million and $21 million, respectively, of compensation expense before tax was recognized in "Selling, general and administrative expense" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings for all share-based awards, of which $9 million and $7 million, respectively, was for stock options. Compensation expense is recognized over the substantive vesting period, which may be a shorter time period than the stated vesting period for qualifying termination eligible employees as defined in the award notices. For first quarter 2025 and 2024, $8 million and $6 million, respectively, of stock option compensation expense was recognized due to qualifying termination eligibility preceding the requisite service period. The impact on net earnings for first quarter 2025 and 2024 was $17 million and $15 million, respectively, net of deferred tax expense related to share-based award compensation for each period. Stock Option Grants In first quarter 2025 and 2024, approximately 408 thousand and 389 thousand stock options, respectively, were granted under the 2021 Omnibus Stock Compensation Plan. Options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and a term of ten years, with vesting periods that vary up to three years. Vesting generally occurs ratably over the vesting period or, in some cases, 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 2025 and 2024 are provided in the table below:
The grant date exercise price and fair value of options granted during first quarter 2025 were $100.56 and $26.99, respectively, and first quarter 2024 were $86.15 and $21.16, respectively. For options unvested at March 31, 2025, $3 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 may award long-term performance shares, restricted stock and restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights. 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. Performance share awards vest and are paid out at the end of the year performance period, contingent upon the achievement of specified performance conditions. The awards are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation model and are recognized as compensation expense ratably over the service period. In first quarter 2025, approximately 332 thousand long-term performance share target awards were granted for the 2025–2027 performance period, and in first quarter 2024, approximately 339 thousand were granted for the 2024–2026 performance period. The target shares awarded are initially 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 2025 and 2024 were approximately 176 thousand and 181 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. Compensation expense before tax of $14 million was recognized in both first quarter 2025 and 2024 for these other share-based awards, and this amount 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, 2025, was approximately $117 million and will be recognized primarily over a period of three years. For additional information regarding share-based compensation plans and awards, see Note 18, "Share-Based Compensation Plans and Awards", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION Eastman's products and operations are managed and reported in four operating segments: Advanced Materials ("AM"), Additives & Functional Products ("AFP"), Chemical Intermediates ("CI"), and Fibers. The economic factors that impact the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows vary among the Company's operating segments and the geographical regions in which they operate. This operating segment structure is used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), who has been determined to be the Chief Executive Officer, to make key operating decisions and assess performance of the Company. The CODM evaluates segment operating performance, and makes resource allocation and performance evaluation decisions, based on Adjusted EBIT, defined as the GAAP measure earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted for non-core, unusual, or non-recurring items. These adjustments allow the CODM to evaluate segment operating performance excluding the effect of transactions, costs, and losses or gains that do not directly result from Eastman's normal, or "core", business and operations, or are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature. For disaggregation of revenue by major product lines and regions for each operating segment, see Note 20, "Segment and Regional Sales Information", to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional financial and product information for each operating segment, see Part I, Item 1, "Business - Business Segments", in the Company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-05 Business Combination - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement: On January 1, 2025, Eastman adopted this update, which requires that a joint venture must initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value, largely consistent with Topic 805, Business Combinations. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. This ASU is applied prospectively for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: On January 1, 2025, Eastman adopted this update on a prospective basis, which modifies annual income tax disclosure requirements. The updated guidance mandates entities to provide more detailed information including specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, and the breakdown of income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, for both domestic and foreign. Additionally, entities must disclose income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations, categorized by federal, state, and foreign taxes. The guidance further requires disclosure of income tax payments to various jurisdictions. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Adopted as of March 31, 2025 ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued this update in November 2024, which requires public companies to provide additional disclosure of certain income statement expense line items. This guidance is intended to improve transparency around the nature of expenses and their impact on financial performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

| Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposure, Policy | Working Capital Management and Off Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company engages in off-balance sheet, uncommitted accounts receivable factoring programs as a routine part of its ordinary business operations. Through these programs, entire invoices may be sold to third-party financial institutions, the vast majority of which are without recourse. 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 programs, 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 programs also require that the Company continue to service, administer, and collect the sold accounts receivable at market rates. The total amounts sold under the program in first quarter 2025 and 2024 were $676 million and $698 million, respectively. The Company works with suppliers to optimize payment terms and conditions on accounts payable to enhance timing of working capital and cash flows. Under a supplier finance program, the Company's suppliers may voluntarily sell receivables due from Eastman to a participating financial institution. Eastman's responsibility is limited to making payments on the terms originally negotiated with suppliers, regardless of whether the suppliers sell their receivables to the financial institution. The range of payment terms Eastman negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the program. No fees are paid by Eastman for the supplier finance program or services fees. Eastman or the financial institution may terminate the program at any time upon 90 days' notice. Confirmed obligations in the supplier finance program of $67 million and $56 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are included in "Payables and other current liabilities" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
