IR film should be processed in stainless steel tanks 
to be sure."

Hummm,

Does anyone know for certain if Peterson's plastic
roll film developing tanks are IR safe?

I do know that, at least, one can NOT see through the
plastic wall with common IR devices, so I am guessing
it is at least opaque to about 950 nm but that is only
a guess.

Did they (Patterson) ever address this
problem/potential problem themselves?

BTW
Anyone know which tanks are certainly NOT safe for IR
processing?
