Note that trichloroethylene (vulcanizing fluid) attacks butyl rubber
(inner tube):

The chart is a bit difficult to read, but trichloroethylene and butyl
rubber are a "4" or "4 = Unsatisfactory". As near as I can tell, the
only connection with vulcanization is that it softens and
de-vulcanizes the rubber surface, so that the patch will have some
unconnected molecular bonds available onto which to connect.
