Patch kit cement isn't cement or glue in the traditional sense, it's vulcanizing compound.
Tire patches use a 2 part system, analogous to a two part epoxy. One part is the preparation you apply after scraping, which when dried (important) leaves the tube ready to react with the second part which is part of the patch. When done right a permanent bond is made between the patch and tube.
