Wiktionary gives *only* the adjective for thermoplastic:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thermoplastic
softening when heated and hardening when cooled, and thus able to be moulded

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thermoplastic_resin#English
any synthetic material, such as polyethylene, that can be molded when hot but becomes hard on cooling


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic
A thermoplastic, or thermosoft plastic, is any plastic polymer material that becomes pliable or moldable at a certain elevated temperature and solidifies upon cooling.[1][2]
  Comments:
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.
