In this study, the dyeing kinetics of CI Reactive Black 5 dye was statistically investigated. Cotton fabrics were dyed with this dye under different conditions by the exhaustion technique. Dye samples were taken from the dyebath from the start to the end of the process at 10min intervals in order to determine the percentage dye exhaustion. The transmittance of the coloured dyebath samples was measured using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The results were investigated by statistical methods using analysis of variance and regression curves. The dye exhaustion of the cotton fabrics was found to change as a function of the dyeing parameters. Times of half-dyeing were determined from the regression curves.
