The product, in the report: Quadfoam Open Cell spray foam insulation https://quadfoam.com/products/open-cell/quadfoam-natureseal-ocx/
I build a residential gym at my house. It was insulated with spray foam. It was build 2 1/2 years ago. It has had a chemical smell since day one. It is coming from the foam. It is open cell foam. The smell is a sweet smell. I had the air tested and they said the smell was not dangerous. I let my son use the gym. He developed respiratory problems. If I go in there for any significant period of time, I feel it in my lungs for at least a day. Smell is worse when it is humid outside. It is worse in the attic. I tried adding fresh air ventilation. I tried adding a carbon filter. None of this worked. Everyone who enters the building smells it immediately. The foam looks and feels normal, but it gives off the gas. If you take a chunk and smell it, you smell nothing, but when it is everywhere (walls and under roof deck), it sure produces a smell. I am going to have to have the roof deck pulled off and replaced with a roof deck with built in insulation. I would recommend that spray foam never be used. Too many other good and safe alternatives.
