Ilford does not market an infrared film.  They do sell an extended-red film, which is
not the same.

My personal opinion is that infrared film, which can be purchased through many camera
stores and nearly every mail order house, is not an alternative process.  Their is a
wide amount of information that can be found on the Web.  Of course, I would point
you first to my own page <g>, as infrared is one of my specialties.
There is a better forum for infrared, which would be the Infrared Mailing List.  To
subcribe send:  SUBSCRIBE INFRARED to MAJORDOMO@A1.NL.
Good luck!
