Spanish term or phrase: comburente

Contexto (es una tabla): Combustibles y comburentes - Capacidad de consumo estimada - Uso

Entiendo lo que es un comburente - el oxígeno es un comburente; he encontrado la definición en castellano. ¡Pero no encuentro traducción al inglés! ¿"Oxidizer/oxidizing" (es lo más cerca que he estado de encontrar una traducción)? ¿Basta con eso?
