Perhaps I don't understand the question. Both are (nominally) fast panchromatic films; although the Polaroid was a color film, that emulsion would be sensitive to all colors. Presumably there would be some far infra-red light where they would not respond. Far infrared is not convenient to view unless you have an IR detector.

Thanks, Peter, let me rephrase/ explain further....
I have a "portable darkroom" actually used to process x-ray films and I'd like to be able to use it with either Polaroid 600 instant or Fuji fp-3000b film. The darkroom's original purpose was to allow for fast processing of dental x-ray b&w film. There is an amber cover that allows the processer to see what occurs as the film is processed through the solutions. I was asking if I could process the aforementioned (actually safely work with, not process) the instant films in this portable darkroom, viewing through the amber window, without either/ both of the instant films becoming exposed.

In a word, no.

Polaroid 600 is a integral self developing film, it shoots out of the camera and processes in daylight. FP-3000 is a peel apart film, shoot it, pull it through the rollers wait the allotted time and peel it apart. Neither needs a darkroom or can be used in a darkroom.

Normally just shoots out the bottom and stops hanging out of the camera but I had one Instant cam that would shoot the film about three feet! BTW there's a whole cult of recyclers that use the integral batteries in these packs for all sorts of things. For their day, they had amazing power to weight ratio.
