So, my friend finally managed to test some of this film, and it does in fact work as IR film! It’s pretty old film, and it is slow as hell (around EI 0.1 with a 720nm filter), and contrast is off the charts because I’m pretty sure they just used a normal developer, but, it does still work! If I have some leftover cash, I might buy myself a roll and play around with it.

Post images here if you do end up working with this stuff, please!
Will do! I think with some experimentation and patience (a lot of patience…) it could make some super neat images, though.

At some point next year, I’ll probably get a roll, and I’ll probably play around with it in a few ultra low contrast developers to see if I can get a more normal contrast. Maybe if enough people are interested in trying it after seeing my results, I’ll cut up some sheets and post it for sale. Definitely don’t expect anything handheld from this stuff tho lol.
