Rubber cement is an ideal adhesive for patching a flat tire. This adhesive is made from elastic polymers mixed in solvent. The elastic polymers would form a strong but also flexible bond to tire tubes as the solvent quickly evaporates.

Some formula of rubber cement contain toxic solvents, such as acetone and benzene, which would cause damage on surfaces or are believed to cause certain cancers. Now, less toxic solvents, such as n-hexane and n-heptane, are more acceptable.
