An optically clear adhesive composition is provided that is derived from precursors that include from about 0 to about 50 parts by weight of an alkyl acrylate having 1-11 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, from about 40 to about 95 parts by weight of an alkyl acrylate having 12 or more carbon atoms in the alkyl group, from about 5 to about 20 parts by weight of a copolymerizable polar monomer, and an initiator. The adhesive composition has a moisture content of less than about 1.0% when the adhesive is positioned in between two release films and placed in an environment of 85C/85% relative humidity for 72 hours and then cooled down to room temperature. Moreover, when the adhesive composition is placed between two transparent substrates and made into a laminate, the laminate has a haze value of less than about 5% after the laminate is placed in an environment of 85C/85% relative humidity for 72 hours and then cooled down to room temperature.
