That would be open cell foam. About 1# per cf. It is not a vapor barrier but will slow air movement. We use closed cell which is 2# per cf and if you spray 2" is also a vapor barrier. R for closed cell is almost 7 per inch, open cell is about half.
That said both are far better than fiberglass, google R-value myth.
If you want to get all geeky and do research, Buildingscience.com is a good source of unbiased info.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
