Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a packaging material comprising a first layer formed from a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a second layer formed from a heat-activated, olefin-based polymer coupling agent containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and a second polar co-monomer, wherein the packaging material has a total thickness of between 2 mil (50 μm) and 24 mil (600 μm), the first layer has a thickness of between 0.8 mil (20 μm) and 16 mil (400 μm), and the second layer has a thickness of between 0.8 mil (20 μm) and 8 mil (200 μm). The inventive packaging material may be used to provide thermoformed containers and trays for storing sharp, abrasive articles such as orthopedic devices including bone implants.
