1. A composition comprising
a) from 70% to 96% by weight of triacylglycerol of saturated fatty acids comprising an alkyl chain of 6 to 12 carbon atoms,
b) from 3.0% to 30% by weight of silica, and
c) optionally from 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener comprising at least one cellulose derivative and/or water,
d) optionally from 1.0% to 35% by weight of at least one additive other than thickeners,
in each case based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the ratio of triacylglycerol a) to silica b) is within a range from 1:0.04 to 1:0.4,
wherein
the silica is fumed silica or precipitated silica, wherein when the silica is or comprises fumed silica and the composition comprises up to 4.0% by weight thereof, the composition comprises 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener and
when the silica is or comprises precipitated silica and the composition comprises up to 10% by weight thereof, the composition comprises 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of at least one thickener,
wherein the composition has a dynamic viscosity at 21° C. in accordance with DIN 53018 of 50 000 to 400 000 mPa·s, measured with a Brookfield viscometer, spindle 5, at 0.5 revolutions per minute, or is solid at room temperature, and a flash point in accordance with EN 22719 of 210° C. to 240° C.
