What is "commercial film" as differentiated from "motion picture film?" Are there film types they still make that aren't motion picture and aren't destined for KA? Or is "commercial film" in this context something else entirely different than photographic film?

I would guess film for use in military environment, surveillance, science, aviation photography, industry, printing, circuit board etching, etc.
Commercial films are non-imaging film bases for things like flexible displays.What is "commercial film" as differentiated from "motion picture film?"

I want an infrared version of Kodachrome.AFAIK Techpan and HIE / Ektachrome Infrared were both originally military / surveillance films that the leftovers got cut up into consumer rolls once the big boys had bought enough.
Oh dear god, now the "bring back HIE" crowd is going to start all over again...
Perhaps of more importance to APUG users is the recent news here in Rochester that Kodak may have found a buyer for the Eastman Business Park (formerly know as Kodak Park).
If only they could get stock into their supply chain. Trying to buy TMAX400 in China is getting ridiculously hard.
+1 And no use blighting the city of Rochester with a urban dilapidating eyesore. May as well turn it into something profitable. If the great Kodak Co had to leave our lives, at least some use can be made of the property rather than a dead corpse eyesore that people there have so sadly see every day. I can think of no more miserable existence than to have go about my daily life in a 40 below zero, 8 feet of miserable snow, crime, and a big dead urban eyesore every day. That's a sad existence. Bring some life in there and reclaim the buildings for work and prosperity, even if it ends up making mops and cotton balls or rocket parts all day or whatever.
It's a French word, so maybe we could palm it off on Quebec as an outpost, if they ever get around to seceding...Detroit? I thought we gave that to Canada. Or did they decline our gracious offer?
Which would make them a day late and a dollar short again
