I'm not a fan of the spray foam insulation in a residential setting. There have been nightmares with those systems. This stuff has been available in one form or another since the 1970's. The first one that had it was Raptco. At that time they found out that although the foam was a great insulation it emitted excessive amounts of formaldehyde which is toxic to humans.
The stuff went away for a while and then was brought back with new formulations which was used in commercial buildings. It was then adapted for residential use and we have problems again which are being blamed on improper installation. People that have had this installed in their homes are having to move out of their homes and spend tens of thousands of dollars to have this removed from their sick house.
Here's a recent one:
