Three variable concentrations of reactive dyes, hydrophobic fat liquoring agent and anionic water repellent were used in this research by 10, 15, and 20% for reactive dyes and 10, 12.5, and 15% for bothhydrophobic fat liquoring agent and water repellent resulted twenty-seventh of treatment. The research result saw that there is no fade and no change in color after washing and have a good of persperation test for all the treatment, light fastness test resulted 5 of Grey Scale whereas sofness test resulted in range of scale 4 to 6. Tearing and sawing tests saw that for all treatment were fulfill the SNI 06-4593-1998, Garment leather from sheep and goat. Those were in range of 19.81 kg/cm to 47.70 kg/cm and 59.58 kg/cm to 98.57 kg/cm for tearing and sewing properties respectively. Whereas tensile properties saw that from the 27 treatment, 15 treatment were fulfill SNI requirement with the highest value was 171,40 kg/cm2 , for elongation properties for all treatment saw the result was runs between 69,30% and 110,00%. Optimal conditions resulted by concentration of 10% reactive dyes, 10% hydrophobic fat liquoring and 10% anionic waterrepellent. keyword: Reactive dye, skin of the Nile tilapia, hydrophobic
