According to wikipedia it is the French name for
Amatol with a formula heavy on the ammonium nitrate (7 to 1) and with dinitronaphthalene (DNN) replacing TNT.
Looking at the chart above with .32 for pure AN and .68 for a 50/50 mix with TNT (stronger than DNN i believe), I don't think you would get much past .40 but that is really a guess.
https://books.google.com/books?id=u2...losive&f=false confirms the wiki ratios and ingredients.
It looks like the name went out of favor right after WWI as all published references I can find are before 1917.
