It's almost always prenominal. Certainly not a noun meaning plastic. |

Sorry for the mess, I'm certainly open to other ideas. It does seem that 可塑 would generally only be used in cases that would translate to "plastic" and "plasticity", so even though "moldable" is more comprehensible as a meaning, I think, it's probably not a good gloss.
"粘土の可塑性" is googlable - the plasticity of clay, but no hits for "可塑の粘土", for example.
I just felt that
[n] plastic
was too misleading for general English use. Perhaps [adj-no] alone is a sufficient change.
It also seems that in most cases that one would want to use 可塑 as an adjective, they should use 可塑的 or 可塑性 instead... Can 可塑 be [rare] if 可塑的 is not? |

可塑, literally "able-to-mold" seams to correspond to the English *adjective* plastic, but not the noun. Simply defining this as plastic[n] makes this look like a synonym of プラスチック.
Even though all の adjectives are noun-ish, this seems to be principally an adjective looking at the dictionary entries (which include daijisen). 可塑物 would be the closest thing to a generic noun(already in jmdictdb).
Note: google translate converts 可塑 to "plasticity", same as 可塑性 |
