A gas-permeable liquid closure for containers of liquids or solids which emit or absorb gas is provided by a film of an unsintered tetrafluoroethylene having a thickness of from about 0.1 to 3 mm., a fibrillated structure and a density of less than about 1.4. The film is supported across an opening of the container by a perforated cap or perforated sealing diaphragm which is disposed on either one or both sides of the film.
