please try to google for TDS and MSDS before shooting up a question.

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=EPDM+chemical+resistance&meta=&aq=f&oq=

Results 1 - 10 of about 68,800 for EPDM chemical resistance. (0.27 seconds)

first entry

http://www.standard-gasket.com/tech_specs/chem_res/chemical_resistance.htm

Check the table and see for acetone EPDM = "E"

or

http://www.nero.co.uk/pdf/resistance.pdf

The best one is from

http://www.dupontelastomers.com/tech_info/chemical.asp

but for that you have to register for access.
