<upd_detl>Extensive comments already on the entries for 熱可塑性樹脂 and 熱可塑.  In English "thermoplastic" as a noun and "thermoplastic resin" seem to be more-or-less synonymous.  
I'm not sure if this is strictly "rare", but it is "rare in comparison" to the main usage 熱可塑性樹脂, and if choosing a translation for "thermoplastic[n]" 熱可塑性樹脂 seems to be the most desirable choice.</upd_detl>
