Over the past decades a great deal of research effort has been devoted to understanding the physico‐chemical mechanism of the dyeing of cotton with reactive dyes. However, the use of physico‐chemical models has been almost exclusively restricted to research laboratories due to the simplifying assumptions used. A more practical model has now been developed and is intended to allow dyeing recipes and the process parameters used in bulk production to be optimised. The model is additionally able to quantify the effect of non‐controllable variables on overall dyeing efficiency.
