Open-cell foam is not vapor proof. When open cell foam is installed in cold areas the surface needs to be covered with some kind of vapor retardant such as a vapor retardant paint. Open cell foam is good for the environment because some of the low-density foams are made from bio-based products such as soybean oils as opposed to petrochemicals as well as using water or carbon dioxide as the blowing agent.
