It's not entirely clear what you're asking. "Plastic" means, essentially, that something can be molded into another form.
"Malleable" strictly speaking means that something can be hammered into another form.
Plastic is also used to refer to polymeric materials. Most plastics in this sense are not at all malleable; thermoplastic materials can be heated and reshaped, but generally this is not done by hammering.
Malleability is a characteristic associated with metals.
