Tanker firms which carry chemicals from the company's Wilton, Teeside plant will lose the work when production stops there in 1997.
Site manager Wayne Barnacle says: "Until 1997 things will continue much as normal, with us regularly reviewing our large pool of transport contractors, but then there will be a steep wind-down before the plant shuts down."
US-owned Du Pont is closing the Wilton plant to share production facilities with RhonePoulenc in Chalempe, France.
Fred Higgs, national secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union, will be meeting Du Pont at the end of July to discuss job losses.
