Re‐evaluation of diffusion coefficient data reported for a disperse dye within polyester fabric between 110°C and 130°C, using the Williams–Landel–Ferry equation, reveals that the plasticisation model of dye diffusion offers a reasonable explanation of the temperature‐dependent diffusivity of the dye within the substrate. The critical dyeing temperature region commences at the endset temperature of the water‐plasticised poly(ethylene terephthalate) macromolecule. Evidence is presented of the crucially important collaborative roles that disperse dye solubility, water sorption and water‐induced fibre plasticisation adopt in aqueous exhaust dyeing processes utilised for polyester fibres/polymers.
