No obstante, los riesgos de inflamación más importantes en presencia de oxígeno se asocian a las materias combustibles, especialmente las de naturaleza grasa (aceites, lubricantes) y a las materias orgánicas (tejidos, madera, papel, materiales plásticos...) que pueden inflamarse al entrar en contacto con el oxígeno, ya sea de forma espontánea o bajo el efecto de una chispa, una llama o un punto de ignición, o bajo Ios efectos de la compresión adiabática.

agree  Neil Ashby: It's difficult to know the best suggestion but with 'aceites, lubricantes' after the term, then I think your suggestion fits best...it covers both those terms without generalising too much

fat base (combustible materials -- lubricating oils)


Explanation:
"Asimismo, la manteca para cocinar no tiene la misma naturaleza que los aceites y grasas lubricantes a base de petróleo, si bien ambos contienen una **base de grasa**. La manteca para cocinar se utiliza para preparar platos destinados al consumo humano, mientras que los aceites y grasas se emplean en relación con máquinas."
http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/resource/documents/CTM/guidelin...

"Likewise, cooking fat does not have the same nature as petroleum lubricating oils and greases even though both contain a **fat base**. Cooking fat is used in connection with the preparation of dishes for human consumption, whereas
the oils and greases are applied in conjunction with machines."
