Our Background
Our Background
Paradise Cables Limited (PCL), established in year 1989 and now one of the leading manufacturers of cables and conductors in the country, is a corporate unit of Paradise Group of Industries, located at Fatullah, Narayanganj. The PCL product range includes PVC/XLPE insulated and sheathed, armoured/unarmoured wires and cables, overhead conductors and cables. (for detailed product range please refer to list at the end of this catalogue). The PCL plant is equipped with most modern world class cable manufacturing machinery having latest electronic microprocessor based controls and automations to manufacture all types of quality cables and conductors inconformity with latest versions of International standard e.g. German standards (VDE 0271 & 0250), British standards (BS 6004) etc. In addition PCL manufactures XLPE insulated cables with screen/without screen and unarmoured/ armoured as per IEC 60502 up to 33kV system voltage. The copper and aluminium wire required for manufacture are cables is drawn from the wire rods produced by Paradise Metallurgical Complex Limited (PMCL), also a Paradise Group company. The PMCL uses highly refined copper cathodes and Aluminium ingots with high degree of purity having metal content better than 99.99 % to produce wire rods of conductivity better than the specified requirements of international standards.
The PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) / XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene) cable insulations are now well known for their excellent electrical and mechanical properties as well as good chemical resistance. PVC/XLPE cables are simple to handle and easier to make joints. XLPE insulated cables have maximum operating conductor temperature of 90o C, whereas PVC insulated cables have maximum operating conductor temperature of 70o C. PVC compounds are manufactured in house by PCL by using world class PVC resins, stabilizers, plasticizers and other chemicals required to obtain desired properties of PVC compounds as per the relevant international standards. XLPE compounds are imported from reputed manufacturers. PCL follows a very strict quality control system. The quality checks start from the receipt of raw materials, in-process checks & tests and finished cables. The PCL laboratory is equipped with latest test equipments to carryout all the necessary tests as per national and International standard specifications. Each length of cable manufactured is subjected to the tests as per the relevant International standards. The experienced and technically qualified cable testing engineers ensure that all the cables leaving the PCL factory meet all the necessary requirements of the relevant standard. All cables produced by PCL are marketed with engraved brand name "Paradise Cables Bangladesh" at an interval of every meter or less. The continuous quality Assurance System followed by us guarantees the quality of our product, as a result we received ISO 9002 accreditation in early 1998 and reconfirmed subsequently to the latest version ISO 9001:2000 certification.

Most important component / raw material in cable manufacture is the conductor insulation. The performance and properties of cables mainly depend upon the conductor insulating materials. In the modern cable manufacture the most commonly used materials are PVC, Polyethylene (PE), Rubber etc. Polyethylene is the most superior in all the insulating materials due to its high insulation resistance and low dielectric constant. However it lacks in mechanical and thermal properties. By cross-linking these properties are improved. Cross-linked Polyethylene or XLPE as it is commonly referred to, is the most superior insulation. XLPE for cable insulation: PARADISE uses the world famous Sioplas technology for manufacture of XLPE cables. Polyethylene is a polymer of Hydrogen and Carbon atoms, which form a long flexible chain. These chains are independent and therefore are loosely connected. By the process of chemical cross-linking, these chains are linked to form a strong mechanical bond. The XLPE compound possesses improved mechanical properties without loosing or degrading the superior electrical properties of PE. XLPE compound is applied by extrusion and is then cured to cross-link. Properties of XLPE compound : Thermal Properties: After cross-linking the thermal resistance of the PE material increases and it remains stable at higher temperatures. As compared to PVC insulated cable, which is rated for max. 700C operation, the XLPE is rated at max. 900 C operation. The low temperature withstand capacity of XLPE is -400C as against -150C for PVC. Due to higher cable operating temperatures the XLPE insulated cable can carry 20-25% higher current than PVC insulated cable. The thermal ageing properties are excellent and cables insulated with XLPE have longer life span. Electrical properties: XLPE offers higher insulation resistance, typically 100 times better than PVC. The dielectric constant, which is responsible for electrical losses in the cables is less than half of that of PVC. Therefore the performance of XLPE insulated cables is better, especially for HT cables. Mechanical properties: XLPE is mechanically more stronger than PVC, due to cross-linking. It has better abrasion resistance as compared to PE. Chemical Resistance: XLPE resists many chemicals, acids, oils and greases. FRLS properties: The XLPE compound does not contain chlorides, as in the case of PVC, therefore do not emit harmful Halogen gasses during fire condition. The smoke generation is also very as compared to PVC. The XLPE is thermosetting compound and therefore cable retains its electrical integrity for longer duration under fire. The FRLS properties of XLPE are far better than PVC.
