A system and method for cationization of textiles preferably starting with the dry raw greige tubular or open width goods that are made from either a cellulosic or cellulosic blended fabric. The system can include an inducer apparatus with chemical dosification system. In a preferred embodiment, the dry tubular goods are sent in a flat configuration to a first impregnation tank where it receives a multi-functional reaction fluid. After leaving the first impregnation tank, the now wet fabric is turned (when in a tubular width fabric form) by a turning unit and then sent to a second impregnation tank where it again is exposed to the multi-functional reaction fluid. The turning of the fabric causes the side edge positions of the flat tubular fabric to change its physics dynamics which allows for the multi-functional reaction fluid to be evenly applied to the entire fabric. Turning is not needed for open with fabric as it is flat, thus having only one dynamic when analyzed with physics.
